Miami University - B.A., History
Experience
History is so much more than being able to recall dates and facts. In my opinion, it is the basis for personal growth and academic achievement. I earned a bachelor's degree in History at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and my master's in European History from the University of Arizona. There, I was also a teaching assistant, creating lessons and working with students. It was during this time that I discovered how rewarding it could be to share the relevance of history. I tried to make it as interesting to the students I taught as it has always been for me. I also studied Latin and German during my undergraduate years, and I was able to spend several months in Germany learning what became my main research language. My experience teaching students with a variety of interests and from many backgrounds has convinced me that the challenge is well worth the effort. I like to encourage my students to see the fabric of history, rather than the easily memorized and generally well known details. From this perspective, they can also learn a lot about the world around them and what it takes to be successful.In my spare time, I like to read, play the bass and the guitar, and participate in team sports.
