Biography
I came to Taylor as a student because I wanted to grow spiritually, academically, and athletically in the Taylor community. I have continued at Taylor as a faculty member and coach so that I can help shape lives of students in these same three areas.
Hobbies
In addition to my work as Learning Specialist in the Academic Enrichment Center, I enjoy running and coaching cross country and track at Taylor. I also looks forward to spending time at home with my family each day, while also traveling in the summers to Lake Michigan. I am a fan of the Detroit Tigers, and love spending time with my family.
