When not teaching in my 4th grade classroom, I visit classrooms all over New York City as a costumed interpreter and educator, portraying Emily Roebling and talking about bridge science in support of their Brooklyn Bridge social studies units.

I dabble in public history focused on late 19th and early 20th century infrastructure in New York City. As a licensed NYC tour guide, my public and private historical walking tours focus on the history of the NYC subway, the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, and development of the surrounding downtown area. My work includes lectures for adult audiences on a broad range of historical topics. You can also find me at the 19th century Merchant House Museum in Noho, leading tours about the house and her ghostly inhabitants.

My consulting and coordinator work focuses on helping classroom teachers develop standards-aligned curricula to strengthen integrated humanities work, as well as honing student engagement strategies.
