Competing in track in high school and college taught me invaluable lessons in perseverance, toughness, positivity, responsibility, and teamwork. Now, as a high school track coach, I have the privilege of passing those skills on to my student-athletes. Athletics can unlock unique access to learning.

I am equally passionate about making sure school itself prepares students to thrive in an uncertain future. In my role as an AVID tutorial facilitator, I challenge students to think deeply and critically and empower them to push through their academic struggles.

When students feel disengaged or unmotivated, bridging the gap between the classroom and their potential future changes everything. Our school’s work-based learning initiative aims to build this link. Through these experiences, I connect students with tangible, real-life applications to reignite their motivation.

Every student deserves access to an education that leads to a satisfying future. Whether I am coaching on the track, facilitating an AVID tutorial, or connecting students to the real world, I work to create an environment where kids see the relevance of their assignments, the purpose of their efforts, and are driven to build transferable skills for whatever comes next.
