About

Armed with a Master's degree in Elementary Education and Teaching from National Louis University, I recently concluded a rewarding stint as a Water Polo Coach at Evanston Township High School, where I honed my skills in developing tailored training programs and fostering a nurturing team environment. My educational journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education Foundations from the University of Minnesota, laying the groundwork for my core competencies in student engagement and personalized instruction. At Evanston/Skokie School District 65, our team was instrumental in supporting students' social and academic growth, ensuring IEP compliance and fostering a collaborative classroom atmosphere. My Red Cross certification in First Aid and Lifesaving underpins a commitment to safety and well-being in educational settings. I am eager to bring this blend of pedagogical expertise and athletic coaching to an environment that values diverse perspectives and the empowerment of each individual's potential.
