Classroom Blog Intro!

I am a fourth year history teacher at St. Paul Academy and Summit School in St. Paul Minnesota. This is a private prep school in the heart of the city down the street from St. Catherine's University.

I am a strong ENTJ, activator, achiever, and competitor and big time Type-A personality and that shows in my teaching! I love to travel, cook, and swim, which manifests as I coach girls' swimming for SPA.

The purpose of this blog is to manage and monitor my progress in MB6 community as I pursue my Masters' in Education. I will be posting weekly or twice per module.
