Hometown: Framingham, Massachusetts
Schooling: I'm a student at Gettysburg College where I am a history major (trying to focus on American history) and a secondary education minor. I plan to graduate in May of 2002, and return to Gettysburg the following fall to student teach for a semester.
I went to Marian High School in Framingham, Ma, where I graduated in 1998. Before that I attended Walsh Middle School, Juniper Hill Elementary School, and Dunning Elementary School, all in Framingham, also.
Interests: When I'm not studying, I like to read, cook, hang out with my friends, watch movies, chat online, and learn how to do cool things with the computer. I'm involved in several groups on campus. I'm am currently the president of Newman Association (a Catholic student activity and service group). I am the Education Club historian. I'm also active in the College Democrats and in Allies.
Why I want to teach: I have always loved history, and learning about things that happened in the past, and how people used to live. I want to be able to share that with others. I also love working with kids, so teaching is just the perfect way to combine the two.
My life in a Nutshell: I grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts, where I still live with my parents and my 'little' brother Andrew (age 16). I spent many of my summers visiting my grandparents and other assorted relatives in Oregon and in California. As a family, we were involved with the local Ham Radio club, where we became liscensed ametuer radio operators, and helped out with communications for many local events, including the Boston Marathon. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
