The Biggest Advantage to Teaching at an Independent School:

There are so many advantages!  I especially value the global mindedness and inclusivity, small class sizes, and a school that is mission-driven.

Why I Love Harrisburg Academy:

I love the community-feel at Harrisburg Academy.  As a new teacher, I was welcomed and made to feel at home even before arriving on campus.  I also really love that I can be a part of many activities outside of the classroom, such as coaching basketball and advising the MS Student Council.

A Memorable Moment at the Academy:

Being awarded a Trustee Fellowship in 2015.  I was able to participate in the Holocaust and Jewish Resistance Teachers’ Program and spent three weeks in Germany and Poland over the summer.  We heard testimony from survivors and visited many memorials, museums, and former concentration camps.  It was a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

My Favorite Book:
"The Leadership Challenge" by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner.  Many themes from the book echo the values I strive to instill in my students.
