occupation

School Psychologist

I am in my last year of graduate school working as an intern for Howard County Public School System, but will graduate in April! I just accepted a full time position as a school psychologist with HCPSS for the 23-24 school year. 

interesting fact

I have spent time traveling around Israel.

Why do I coach?

I love being in a role to help athletes feel empowered. I value being able to watch a cue finally click, or see the moments when athletes prove to themselves they can do something they never thought possible. Building those relationships and being part of someone's growth in and out of the gym is incredibly rewarding. 

miscellaneous

I have two fur babies (Australian Shepherd Mutts), Quinn and Oakley who completely run my life.
