My experience as a classroom teacher, leader and coach has led me to become a passionate, dedicated and engaging member of the education community . The unique challenges that come with this profession are what make my work so interesting and keeps me motivated to be the most effective and engaging I can be. In order to pursue this career path I have had many experiences working in the classroom and sports arena to build, develop and hone my skills to be an effective teacher and coach. Each year I grow and learn from my experiences whether it be with students, parents or other professionals. It is my belief that we all should strive for greatness and provide support for those around us who educate the youth who are the minds of tomorrow and, ultimately, our future. Without educators and education as a whole, we have no future. I firmly believe that supporting education is the key to a free, equitable, and prosperous tomorrow.
