Social Studies Teacher
I grew up overseas for 11 years in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where my father worked for the oil company Saudi Aramco.  It provided an excellent opportunity to travel. For high school, I attended boarding school at the Stony Brook School on Long Island, New York.  Upon graduating from CU Boulder, I worked in the private sector for a few years before deciding that I wanted to teach.  For over 20 years, I have been at Lewis-Palmer High School.  I continue to travel as much as possible: I find the history and culture of various places tie directly into what and how I teach.
