What do you teach? 

PE Teacher, Volleyball Coach, I help every now and then with other sports

Why do you teach? 

I love to teach PE because I get to play all day for my job! I love to move around and always knew whatever I ended up doing I could not be still behind a desk. Teaching PE is exciting and very rewarding. It is really cool to see students fall in love with sports at a young age and carry it throughout their life.

What do you love about MILTON? 

I love how supportive everyone is at this school, staff and students included. I think we have a great community that really cares about one another. I love that we celebrate each other when we are up and support each other when we need help.

Your teaching style in three words? 

Energetic, Encouraging, Fun

Favorite moment at MILTON?

Girls Volleyball team made it to the semi finals for the PVAC Conference tournament this past fall. I think my heart was beating a million times a minute for the whole game. They had an amazing season and should be so proud of themselves for how far we came!
