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. 

One of the great Native American cultures in our New York history is that of the Haudenosaunee, as the French called them, the Iroquois. How did these "People of the Longhouse" create a culture that valued unity and peace over all other values? How did the Haudenosaunee demonstrate their belief in the inner strength and wisdom of women in their matrilineal society? How did the Haudenosaunee divide labor up among their longhouses and their villages to survive? Why did the Haudenosaunee create the Iroquois Confederacy? How do the Haudenosaunee practice government? These questions and more will be researched by 7th Grade students and answered in class over the coming weeks!
