About Me

I’m excited to welcome our 7th graders to a year of explorations in world history. Our studies will range over many regions and periods of time, with a focus on the Egyptians and Medieval Period. My own history includes nine years of teaching grades 7 & 8. I have a Bachelors Degree in Middle School Social Studies & Math, a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership, and a Specialists Degree in Educational Technology, all through MIZZOU. I love spending time with family & friends, reading, watching movies, playing with my two yorkies, Triton & Ariel, and my toy poodle, Jasmine.

This is all really interesting. What are your thoughts about Hatshepsut's life? How do you think female leaders during the days of Ancient Egypt and modern times compare?
