Career Advice to Teens
Education is a profession that allows you the opportunity to positively impact young people. Every day is a new challenge with highly rewarding outcomes. Relationships are vital and while teachers impact their students, many students impact their teachers. We also need/desire more young men in our elementary buildings.

What is your wish for the Red Rock Area?
My biggest wish for Marion County is an updated and vibrant looking soccer complex that will allow our youth an opportunity to play the beautiful game for years to come.
What is your biggest passion, and why?
Giving back to our youth. We've all had a great teacher and coaches in our lives. My goal each day is to give back to our next generation by inspiring, encouraging and motivating them to be the best versions of themselves. Someone did it for me, now it's my turn to do it for someone else.
