I have been teaching and coaching for over 15 years at different levels. I started my career coaching collegiate volleyball while teaching Kinesiology and Ethics of Coaching before transitioning into secondary education. I am originally from Michigan, but I have lived in six states. Beyond education in the classroom, I am also the volleyball and tennis coach. I have played volleyball since I was 12 and have had the opportunities to compete at the college level and professionally. I enjoy mentoring children while being a positive role model on the court, in the class and in the community. I look forward to a new school year and meeting new children and families.
