I’m a fencing coach and referee with a passion for working with people in ways that help them grow, build confidence, and feel supported. Coaching has taught me patience, creativity, and how to adjust my approach to meet each person’s unique needs. These are skills I want to bring into volunteering with autistic children and adults. I believe in creating an encouraging environment where individuals can thrive, whether that’s learning new skills, finding joy in activities, or simply feeling understood and respected.
Developed adaptive coaching methods to help beginners of all abilities succeed in fencing, including breaking down complex movements into simple, step-by-step instructions.
Refereed regional and national competitions, ensuring fairness, patience, and clear communication with athletes, parents, and coaches.
