My placement will be at the University of Pecs and the American Corner in Pecs, located in the south-central part of Hungary.

I would like to extend a special thank you to my students from West Mifflin Middle School. I hope you all have a wonderful summer and a successful school year for 2007-2008.

Greetings!

Thank you for visiting my site. Teachers and students may find useful links and resources about Hungary and the U.S. based on my personal experiences in this site. For the 2007-2008 academic year I will be a Fulbright teaching assistant in Hungary. During the 2006-2007 school year, I was in the Master of Arts in Teaching program at the University of Pittsburgh, doing my teaching internship at West Mifflin Middle School. I have a bachelors degree in history and political science from the University of Pittsburgh, a masters degree in secondary social studies education and am certified to teach in the state of Pennsylvania. My previous experience abroad includes a 5 week summer language program in Moscow, Russia and a semester in Budapest, Hungary. I am excited to represent the University of Pittsburgh abroad once again.

I am originally from Doylestown, PA, located about 25 miles North of Philadelphia in Bucks County. I attended Central Bucks West high school where I was a member of the marching band. My most memorable achievement from Doylestown was constructing a nature trail for my Eagle Scout project. It is my goal to return to the Central Bucks area to continue my career in teaching.

Enjoy my site!
