What brought you to CASA?

I wanted to return to Central PA, and I wanted to teach at a school that included and integrated the arts into a STEAM curriculum.

 

Where did you work and what was your role prior to coming to CASA?

I previously was the department chair and lead science teacher at Bronx Prep Charter school in NY, and I spent one year teaching Chemistry at the Milton Hershey School during the pandemic.

 

What is your favorite part of working at CASA?

I love the creativity of the students and the collaboration of the staff.

 

What is your connection to the arts? How are you an artist?

Teaching anatomy allows me to bring the artistic form and function of the body into the classroom.

​

What do you feel is your impact on our school community, students, and culture?

I am hoping to create a welcoming and inviting classroom where everyone feels safe and appreciated for their individualism.

​

What advice do you have for our students?

Mistakes should be celebrated; it's how we learn.​
