Life as a teacher at Trinity Catholic High School has been a great blessing and challenge. There are so many overlooked aspects of designing a successful classroom experience that you never would have known from the other side of the teacher's desk.
It has been really fun and exciting to use chemistry as a vehicle to teach, learn, and share with others while I grow from the opportunity to share in each student's life journey. I am here to meet the students as they are, show them the incredible beauty that they each possess as children of God, and to grow myself from the experiences that we will share.
Previously, I taught at the university level, traveled the world coaching soccer, served as an exercise physiologist, and experienced many other roles within health, wellness, and other teaching facilities. All led to this experience, this opportunity, to teach and learn within the Trinity Catholic High School community. And, now that I am here, I am looking to bring my greatest love to share with the students, teachers, administrators, and parents of Trinity: soccer outreach!
In the past, I lived for a month in Kenya providing soccer outreach and working with nurses and the Leo Toto system supported by the Catholic Church.
Kenya is one of my favorite places in the world. The people are quite loving and the culture is oriented toward taking care of everybody, stranger and friend.
During Christmas break I will return to Kenya with the mission of providing a high-quality coaching education system and to bring more of the beauty of the Kenyan culture back to Trinity Catholic High School.
I invite you to read more about my first trip to Kenya on my blog here:
