Role at Outlook Academy
I currently co-teach Civics, Global Issues, and Economics with Mr. O’Leary, and I am now also a member of the Life Skills department. In the past, I have taught Accounting and Business.
I maintain regular communication with parents and speak with students one-on-one to better understand any obstacles that may interfere with their academic success in class.

Philosophy & Approach
I believe every student can succeed when they are in the right environment, and that you are never too old to learn something new.
A student can always come to me if they are having an issue, and I will do my best to support them or connect them with the appropriate person here for additional help.
Favorite Part of Working at Outlook
I have been with this program since its early beginnings at Thornridge, when it was known as the 13th Graders program. What began with Saturday sessions grew into summer school and eventually expanded into a full school year program in 2016. I truly believe in this program and am proud to be a part of it.
