Having worked as an educator and in the private sector has given me a varied life experience to my students and peers. Although we only experience about 100 years or so on this planet our understanding of where we came from is just as important and where we want to go. History for me is a living breathing entity that is not wrote memory but seeing the world from different perspectives. My goal is have my students self discover what past people places and events mean in their original context to see how that impacts our current lives.
