I earned my Bachelor's degree in Political Science at Binghamton University. While I majored in Political Science, I minored in Spanish, and can speak the language proficiently. After graduating Binghamton University, I worked on Wall St. for both the Bank of New York and for J,P. Morgan Chase. I worked in the banking divisions there for ten years, developing important life skills and flourishing professionally. At the same time, I began mentoring high school students through my local parish, and soon realized that teaching could be my true calling in life. 
      Therefore, I returned to school at night to obtain my Masters of Science degree in Social Studies Education from Queens College. I am currently certified to teach middle and high school Social Studies, and I have my Religious Certificate to teach Religion in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. 

Why did European explorers set sail on the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans in the 15th through 17th centuries? Why was the concept of scarcity a catalyst for their famous journeys, and what did the kings and queens of Europe want with scarce goods from the Orient? Why did Pope Alexander II want God-fearing men to be in charge of these explorations into the "New World?" How did these many journeys change the landscape of world history forever? These questions and more will be researched by 7th Grade students and answered in class over the coming weeks!
