Hey there!  What sits in a corner, but travels all around the world?  (Answer at the end of column five :) I am your friendly social science teacher at BGHS!  For the past 17 years, I have taught everything Human Geo and, now more recently, College World Religions.  I absolutely love that my job is to work with students and continuously learn more about the world!

Are you looking for a club to join?  I've got TWO for you!

If you are interested in global politics, you will be interested in this club. We guide and teach everyone to act, debate, and research the role of a United Nations delegate. You pick an issue (civil unrest, migration, refugee, environment) and then represent a country. I have witnessed shy students transform into confident people ready to change the world!

I am married to a fellow social science teacher, and together we have two children: Jason and Jonah.  We also just got a leopard gecko named Peanut.

For fun, I love to read, eat a lot of different kinds of food, and play sports.  If I'm not on the field myself, I'm on the sidelines for my two sons or even for my husband!  We like to be active. The picture above is from our family hiking trip to Colorado this past summer.

This is a safe space for students to celebrate their Asian heritage from East, South, Southeast, and Central Asia. We meet bimonthly with one of the meetings at a different high school in D214 in order to connect with others in our district. We explore our culture and identity. We welcome anyone and everyone!

I love to travel and see the world. I always bring travel stories into the classroom since both of the courses I teach explore people and the world around us.

Thus far, I've been to 25 different countries and territories.  I hope to add more to the list!  I would love to explore India, Greece, and Turkey in the future.

My last international travel was in the summer of 2018.  I got to travel with a group of amazing AP Human Geography teachers to South Korea.  After our program, I traveled some more with my family and visited my extended family.  Above is Jason and Jonah outside one of the royal palaces in Seoul called Gyeongbokgung. The building behind them served as the royal banquet dining hall constructed in the 15th century.

I have played field hockey for over thirty years now.  Many moons ago, I was a student athlete and played at the University of Michigan.  I even got to play in the national championship game!

Since then, I've done a lot of coaching, playing, and even commentating.  You might also be able to see me on TV!  I commentate college field hockey games for the Big Ten Network.  Never in my wildest dreams did I ever envision myself doing anything like this, but I have enjoyed every bit of it.
