Fun Facts
I grew up in Annapolis, MD where I spent my childhood being on the water almost every weekend. From sailing to tubing, if it came to the water I loved to do it. In high school I spent my time playing JV lacrosse and field hockey and was the captain of both! I also was a referee for rec league lacrosse and field hockey teams. Someday, I hope to travel to a country in Africa and teach English to children in that country.

I would be able to do the same with a student, help them try different methods in order to find the perfect match!
