I am very grateful and feel incredibly humbled in receiving this award. History is an exciting subject and I am fortunate to be able to spend my days talking about something I enjoy! I have so much fun seeing students get excited by the topics we cover as they discover their own joy in learning and being curious about the past. I would like to thank Christi Kane and Kaity Bell who nominated me, and I would like to thank all of the staff at JPC who put so much time and effort into creating engaging learning environments for our students – it is the entire school culture that has made it possible for me to try different things in the History classroom to engage students.
