Summary
I am a mom of 5 with a deep love for Field Hockey. My oldest son just graduated from Tri County Vocation High School, my daughter will be a junior at BVT and my other son will be a freshman at BVT starting in September. My younger two boys are in middle and elementary school.
I have coached on and off for the last 9 years coaching beginner level players to varsity levels players. I have coached off season (both summer and winter leagues) for the last two years with the majority of the BVT Varsity Field hockey team. Being a mom and working in the Bellingham School system as a substitute teacher for the last 7 years I feel it has given me the ability to relate and communicate with the kids at a different level then someone who does not have that experience. Over the last two years I have coached the majority of the current BVT field hockey team out of season and I feel that I have created a strong relationship with them that is built on respect, trust, the desire to win, and a mutual love for the sport. I feel that I would be a positive asset to the BVT Field Hockey Program as the Varsity Head Coach.
