While an undergraduate student, I was an 8th grade City Year Boston AmeriCorps member at the William B. Rogers middle school in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston. I additionally was a teaching assistant for a 7th grade summer school program at the John W. McCormack middle school. After recieving my bachelors degree, I additionally taught two years of middle school science: first, as an 8th grade science teacher with Teach for America AmeriCorps member at Neighborhood House Charter School in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, and later as a 6th to 8th grade science teacher at Hartford Memorial Middle School in Hartford, VT.
