Born and raised in the Greater Lowell area of Massachusetts, Evan completed his BS in Social Studies Education at Boston University as a first generation college student graduating magna cum laude. He taught high school social studies in Dracut, MA before moving to Baltimore, MD and completing a MS in Educational Studies with a focus on neuroeducation and family-school-community collaboration at Johns Hopkins University. He then relocated again to rural North Carolina where he worked as an 8th grade social studies and towards a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at North Carolina State University. During that time he served on the Project Management Team of the New York Toolkit: the group that created and launched the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) to bring the C3 Framework to life.
Evan brings his passion for equity-mindedness and advocacy for first generation college students to Longwood University, and he particularly loves teaching in a program that allows him to directly work with aspiring teachers across subject areas and age levels.
