FAVORITE QUOTES

“Even if I knew the world ended tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree.”
— Martin Luther

I began my life in education after graduating from Wittenberg University in 2020. Moving to Cleveland that summer I worked with AmeriCorps as a City Year Member. Along with that, I have worked as a building substitute teacher, and a Program Coordinator doing after school programming. I am excited to get back in the pool doing what I did through high school and college, teaching life saving skills while sharing joy and laughter.
