School has been my sport since the very beginning. Sure, I’m 6’2 with a wingspan coaches dream of, but I also have two left feet that seem to be stuck in mud at alternate times. I didn’t want to be a teacher, both my parents had degrees in education and found their way to a more “prestigious” careers. After 6 years in the classroom, and an MBA in Marketing in my back pocket my life was changed forever through a marketing internship that sent me to Africa. I came home ready to teach.
