 * Few Facts about myself:**


 * 1) **Fact 1**: I was an avid soccer player for many years, from age 3 to through college. It was my passion and what lead me to teaching. If I wanted to coach, teaching was the best career to complement it. I have been coaching since I was 13. I worked with tiny tots and for the past couple of years I coached at McDaniel College. I love coaching and find a great joy in working with boys and girls who share the same passion as I do. Its not forced like is sometimes is within a classroom.
 * 2) **Fact 2**: My favorite animal is a penguin. I don't know why, I just think they look neat and can live in some of the worst climates in the world.
 * 3) **Fact 3**: Just moved to upstate NY and was lucky enough to find a teaching job that also wanted me to coach. I am exploring the area and looking at other opportunities to teach and advance myself. It is bitter cold up here, but Maryland has still gotten more snow than us so far this year.

I hope to learn new tools to use in the classroom and make a better connection to student learning.
