Teacher/Coach
Denton,Tx
Summary
I am a dedicated coach and teacher looking for a career that will allow me to utilize my passion and knowledge for competitive swimming and aquatic sports and my skills in communication. While I have been in education since 2014 my true passion was not realized until the last three years when I was hired as the sole coach over the Decatur High School swim team. Since my arrival I have taken swimmers who could only dog paddle and raised them to the level necessary to qualify for state. Swim will always be in my blood whether it is coaching or competing. My second home is the pool.
