This is my fourth year at Lake Shore, and my third as a regular business teacher. For the 2014 - 2015 school year, I was a long-term substitute. I am certified by the State of Michigan to teach Business Ed classes, Marketing, Vocational Business, Vocational Marketing, Social Studies, and Economics. Teaching is a second career for me; I am a member of the State Bar of Michigan, and practiced law before going back to school to get my teaching certificate and my Masters in Teaching (MAT) from Wayne State University. My undergraduate degree is in Economics, from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My law degree (JD) is from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law. I am also taking classes at Saginaw Valley State University, to obtain a teaching endorsement in Educational Technology. Lake Shore High School is a great place to be, and I am looking forward to a great school year!
