Experience
I am a high school Sports Marketing and Entrepreneurship teacher with experience creating engaging, project-based lessons for students. My classes are designed for a wide range of learners, including those who struggle with traditional instruction and need more interactive, real-world applications.
Much of my work focuses on building activities that are both structured and engaging, helping students connect business concepts to areas they are already interested in, such as sports, branding, and media. I aim to create lessons that are clear, practical, and easy to implement in a real classroom setting.
In addition to teaching, I am also a football coach, which influences my approach to the classroom. I emphasize teamwork, energy, and accountability, while creating an environment where students can actively participate and stay engaged.
Teaching style
My teaching style is centered on student engagement and real-world relevance. I have found that when students are not interested, learning quickly breaks down, so I focus on creating lessons that connect directly to topics they care about.
In my classroom, I emphasize project-based learning and interactive activities that allow students to apply business and marketing concepts in practical ways. Many of my lessons are built around current trends, sports, and real-life scenarios to keep students involved and invested.
These experiences have shaped my approach to curriculum design, where the goal is to create structured, engaging lessons that are both meaningful for students and easy for teachers to implement.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Developed classroom activities that consistently improve student engagement and participation.
Created real-world, sports-based projects that help students better understand business and marketing concepts.
Continuously refine lessons based on student feedback and classroom performance.
My own education history
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sports Management and Master's Degree in Organizational Development and Leadership. This background has helped guide my approach to developing engaging, classroom-tested resources.
