Summary
I'm a dedicated educator and coach for girls athletics with 4 years of experience teaching and coaching. I believe in fostering an environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential, both in the classroom and on the court. As a coach, I aim to teach invaluable life lessons—teamwork, discipline, resilience, and leadership—while helping each player grow as both an athlete and a person. I hold a Bachelor of Science in General Kinesiology from Abilene Christian University, with ongoing professional development to stay current with the latest teaching and coaching techniques.
