Summary


I have been a teacher in Troy for over 20 years. Now that my children are getting older I would love to get back to helping students not just in the classroom, but outside the classroom.



I played soccer my whole childhood and was lucky to have the opportunity to play in college. I would love to help foster a love of the game with the Troy community. Team sports are a great way to learn many of life's greatest skills: responsibility, sportsmanship, decision-making, teamwork, and perseverance.
