Summary
I am a passionate educator dedicated to positively impacting students' lives. My approachable nature helps me build meaningful connections and create a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. Softball has greatly influenced me, teaching leadership, teamwork, and resilience lessons. As a former player turned coach, I enjoy mentoring young girls in both the game and life skills they can use beyond the field. I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends and value the connections that enrich my life.
