“Growing up I always loved mysteries and detective work, and I think history as a subject is very similar to that. You learn how to weigh and compare primary source voices and perspective with others’ research to find and create your own understanding of the past. I also love how history teaches perspective and empathy, and I love thinking about what motivates individuals and groups of people.”

“I will always love working with young folks. The energy is infectious, and they never cease to amaze and surprise. Working at a boarding school also means I get to work with students in myriad ways, not just in the classroom.”

“We have wonderful students at PEA. They are not only amazingly talented, but they are genuinely good human beings. Discussing French literature with 12 perceptive, engaged teenagers is sheer joy. I cannot imagine a more rewarding learning environment.”

“It is my hope that each student, in our mutual effort to experience the fullest expression of one’s potential, will leave the Academy with a life-long appreciation of music, particularly vocal music, and will be actively engaged in the arts.”
