Summary

Building relationships is one of the most important goals in my life. Teaching and coaching are the avenues in which I use to reach that goal. Throughout my professional journey of ministry, coaching, and higher education, I have built lasting relationships. Teaching is the avenue I wish to pursue in this season of my professional career. I have the experience and the skills necessary to be a small part of a students success story. I look forward to seeing life change and lasting relationships formed with students, parents, and fellow faculty.
