As a native New Yorker, I’ve spent my life captivated by the trailblazers who built this city through courage, creativity, and persistence. My career has been defined by a passion for education and advocacy—serving as a college history professor, a former State Teacher of the Year, and a dedicated volunteer for social causes ranging from criminal justice reform to animal welfare.
I created Epic Walking Tours to bridge the gap between rigorous history and immersive storytelling. With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and a star-rating from the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs—placing me in the top tier of the city’s guides for historical knowledge—I don’t just show you landmarks; I bring the extraordinary history of ordinary people to life.
I’m here to share the stories that inspired me to become a historian and writer, with the hope that they’ll inspire you, too.
