For thirty-two years, I have been a dynamic educator and coach with a proven track record, excelling in student and athlete development and fostering a positive team culture in the classroom and on the playing field. Skilled in motivational leadership and program development, I have effectively enhanced performance through tailored instruction and coaching and engaging lesson plans, driving individual and team success.
