From Class to Sidelines

My teaching style is structured, supportive, and growth-focused. I believe in clear expectations, simple systems, and lessons that meet students where they are while still challenging them to improve. As both a teacher and coach, I design resources that are practical, intervention-friendly, and easy to use in real classrooms and team settings.

After graduating from Fremont Ross High School in 2012, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and worked in that field for six years. During that time, I developed a strong understanding of accountability, structure, and the importance of consistency—skills that continue to shape my work today. While working in criminal justice, I realized I wanted to make a more direct and lasting impact. That desire led me into education, where I now work as an Intervention Specialist supporting middle school students in Ohio. My background allows me to approach teaching with a focus on clear expectations, problem-solving, and helping students build skills that support both academic and personal growth. In addition to teaching, I am also a cheer coach, which further influences my approach to instruction. Whether in the classroom or on the sidelines, I emphasize structure, goal-setting, accountability, and confidence-building. The resources I create are grounded in real-life experience, designed to be practical, intervention-friendly, and easy to implement for teachers and coaches working with students in grades 6–8.
