Teaching Experience: My first teaching experience was as a swim instructor in high school. It was just a few weeks each summer, but it was incredibly rewarding to see the impact I could have in just a few weeks. This was in upstate NY and the weather on any day could be warm and sunny, or (more likely) cold and gray. No matter what the temperatue, I always jumped int the water to teach my students. Their success was my success, and I wanted to be by their side helping them succeed.

Interests: I'm into everything outdoors. At the top of the list: biking, climbing, skiing and sailing.
