I was born and raised in New Jersey, but moved down to Charlotte to pursue my passion to educate tomorrow's brightest and best. I am a graduate from Richard Stockton College of New Jersey where I received my Bachelors degree in 2007. Later I attended graduate school at The College of New Jersey where I received a Masters in Art of Teaching degree in 2009. I am a firm believer that hard work and determination can take you places beyond where your mind could ever imagine. Education has always been a cornerstone in my life, however sports, especially baseball, are one of my true passions. I played the game of baseball my entire life until an injury ended my career in college. However, through this I began coaching where I found my true calling in life, teaching our youth. I have found great joy helping my students/athletes with not only making them better within the classroom/field, but also in teaching them life lessons that go far beyond their current boundaries. I look forward to an exciting year here a Coulwood STEM Academy!
