    MY COLLEGE DEGREES & CERTIFICATIONS, TEACHING AND/OR PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

    I have a BA in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I’ve also served as a Chamber of Commerce Ambassador in both Lee County & Moore County and have 10+ years of youth development expertise.

    MY EXPECTATIONS FOR MY CLASSROOM THIS YEAR

    I want to introduce a new way of learning, by giving children not only education, but an experience.

    MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

    “I only coach winners….and that is why I can coach anyone” (quoting myself)

    MY HOBBIES, INTERESTS & THINGS I DO OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

    I like to play basketball, play the piano, and listen to music.

    SOMETHING PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT ME

    I have played professional basketball in both Italy (2015) and Australia (2016)
