With 26 years of experience teaching middle school mathematics, including the past eight in Horry County Schools, I have dedicated my career to both education and athletics. As a former collegiate softball pitcher, I have been coaching since 1998, specializing in fastpitch pitching instruction. My coaching experience spans multiple levels, including youth, high school varsity, and college showcase teams.
I served as an assistant coach at St. James High School, helping lead the team to four consecutive region titles, two district championships, and multiple state playoff appearances while coaching pitchers who earned Region Pitcher of the Year and All-State Team honors. Currently, I am an assistant coach for the Carolina Elite college showcase team, guiding high school athletes toward collegiate opportunities.

Beyond coaching, I have worked closely with student-athletes, parents, and administrators to foster a positive, growth-oriented environment. I have organized fundraisers for softball programs, assisted athletic directors, and served as a game manager for various sports events. My passion lies in mentoring young athletes, developing their skills, mindset, and work ethic, and inspiring them to reach their full potential both on the field and in the classroom.
