My name is Tori Hawes, and I am an AP Human Geography and APUSH teacher located in Los Angeles, California. I am very fortunate to have learned a lot about these subjects, and am looking forward to learning more to support my students. The three places I chose were in the San Bernardino Mountains, where I have work as a camp counselor for the past 15 years. Second, I chose the Nile River Valley as a place where geography influenced humanities as it became an agricultural and early cultural hearth. Finally, I chose the Great Wall of China as a place where humanities has influenced Geography.

To me, Geography makes me think of population, culture, and urbanization. Thanks to teaching AP HuG, I have been able to focus more on the Why of the Where, as I tell my students.
