I am an MAT student at Fairleigh Dickinson University.  The teaching certificate I am pursuing is Social Studies (K-12).  My goal is to teach social studies at the high school level.  In addition to history, I enjoy the social studies discipline of economics.

An important part of my educational philosophy is that material should be made relevant for the students to engage them.  An effective way to do this is to relate history to the present and heavily incorporate current events and discussions into the classroom.
