I grew up in a household where sport was far more than competition—it was recognized and taught as one of life’s classrooms. That foundation shaped my path when I entered the world of International Education. Alongside teaching History and Social Studies, I have spent the last two decades dedicated to experiential learning, evolving from a CAS and Camps Coordinator into eight years as an Athletic Director. Grounded in those early lessons, my core philosophy remains constant: while we aim for success on the scoreboard, our true responsibility is guiding student-athletes to embrace the lifelong lessons embedded in every practice, challenge, and game.
