Certified Pickleball Instructor

A Little About Me

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students and athletes, helping them achieve their personal and academic goals. My experiences both in the classroom and on the court have shaped my passion for mentoring and guiding others toward success. Over the course of my life, I have actively engaged in a variety of sports and activities, including skiing, hiking, softball, volleyball, and basketball. Playing in college. To continue to stay active I love participating in the local and state NC Senior Games which includes pickleball and many other activities. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to fostering both academic and athletic growth in my students. My commitment to lifelong learning and professional development is reflected in my extensive certifications and involvement with organizations that promote excellence in both teaching and sports. After retiring from over 30 years in education, I continued my passion for teaching by coaching pickleball players. I enjoy helping players develop their skills and learn the game.
