About Me

I was born and raised in San Jose, CA.  While growing up, I fell in love with baseball.  I have been to countless San Francisco Giants games in my life, and the number just keeps on growing.  A large part of my interests involves sports.  I regularly watch baseball, hockey, college football, and soccer games.  I currently play golf and am on a softball team.  I am looking forward to working with you all this year!

Education
After graduating from Leigh High School in San Jose, I attended De Anza College for two years.  I then transferred to Arizona State University where I received my B.A. in History and B.A. in American Studies.  After working at a middle school for a year, I entered the University of California, Santa Cruz where I received a M.A. in Education, graduating in 2014.

My Passion
My passion is history.  This passion started young.  I remember racing my father home from school so that I could watch Nickelodeon before he got home and put on the History Channel (guess who won most of the time).  As I progressed through school, history remained my strongest subject.  My goal is to show how awesome history really is!  History is the story of us all and explains why everything around us is happening the way it is!
