Teaching position: I'll be teaching English at Whitefish Bay High School.

Do you have any connection to Whitefish Bay? I do not have any prior connections with Whitefish Bay, but I'm excited to get to know the area and the people.
Do you have any hobbies? My second biggest passion next to education is writing and performing music. I've played bass in the same band for over 5 years.
Favorite place you've visited: Last year my band went on a summer tour along the west coast. For a few of us it was the first time seeing the Pacific.
