I was born in Philadelphia, educated in Cambridge and Oxford, taught in Portland, and now have lived in Walla Walla for over 20 years. I have a Ph.D. in medieval history from Harvard University, and taught college full-time and part-time for thirty years before starting at DeSales last year. I also am a parent with two lifers at the WWCS and was on the board for six years, so I have seen the system from every angle! I teach Contemporary World Problems, Northwest History, European History, and AP US History. love being able to share my faith and love of Christ as well as my love of history with my students. I enjoy preparing them for the rigors of college and getting them to think about themselves, their society, and God's role in the world.
