I love teaching Middle School Social Studies!  I lived in upstate NY, Rochester area, for 34 years.  We have been in SC for 8 years and I love the weather in the south.  I teach 6th grade social studies which focuses on World History Civilizations.  I earned my Bachelors degree at Nazareth College and my Masters at SUNY Brockport.  I have traveled and studied in Germany and Poland.  My passion is Holocaust Studies and have published a survivor memoir, Lost Childhood. I have taught grades 6-10 and this is my 20th year teaching.  WooHoo! I also have National Board Certification in Early Adolescent Social Studies.
