Throughout my professional history, I have achieved the following career highlights: Taught for 1 ½ years with EF First for children based in China between the ages of 5-12 years old. Originating and launching successful programming to elevate academic, health, and wellness among diverse groups; including leading the only agricultural program targeting school-age children in the Bedford, VA area and the Phoenix Flames homeschool program in Bradenton, FL. Additionally, I created and cultivated an environment supporting health and wellness by coaching athletic teams, teaching science, physical education, leading nutrition classes, directing co-op gardens, and facilitating eco-system field trips. Finally, my focus has been on optimizing students' leadership development and engagement as a supervisor, mentor, and instructor to promote academic growth in developing the whole person's body, mind, and spirit.
