"It's all about the Dash" is my motto. When we pass, our gravestones have just the basics name, birthday, and day of passing, and in between the two dates is a "dash." The dash is your life and all the stuff that you did between those two dates. I want to make sure that people remember me for those moments when I impacted their life.


About Me

I was a teacher in NYC for thirteen years and relocated to Colorado in 2018. I worked at a top school in New York City as a social studies teacher and student activities coordinator. During my teaching career I brought technology to the forefront of my classroom. My Master's Degree is in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Educational Technology. This study consistently pushed my practice.

For the past 4 years I was the Career Explore Coordinator and Esports Coach in the Jeffco School District. In my position I supported our seniors who were most in danger of not graduating and am proud of the work that I did in not only getting 97% of my students to graduation, but also in developing my students' career skills through industry partner internships and leveraging the power of service through school and community projects.

I was a chef for over 10 years and during that time I also worked for an overnight summer camp. I have competed in several BBQ competitions and Chili Cook Offs coming in the top 5 several times and look forward to participating in (or starting) Oly Cook Offs!

I am married and have two dogs, Mahalo and Toda. When I'm not at school you can find me rooting on my hometown Philly teams and adventuring near and far in the great outdoors.
