I’ve worked across classrooms and organizations, developing curriculums that meet real needs — not just checkboxes. I’ve trained educators, led school-wide initiatives, and hosted events that bring people together.

But more than anything, I believe in the power of chess. It’s not just a game — it’s a tool for teaching patience, focus, decision-making, and confidence. Whether you're five or fifty, there’s something transformative about sitting across a board, thinking deeply, and making your next move with intention.

When I’m not teaching or planning chess events, you’ll find me running, playing pickleball, or brainstorming ways to bring people together in more meaningful ways. I'm deeply passionate about creating structured, welcoming spaces where learning and community go hand in hand.
