1. and 2. I've been a choreographer for the Musical for 10 years, and coached varsity Track for 3 years.
3. I love the opportunity to get to work with students and athletes and help them to learn something new, or reach their goal. It's also wonderful to see the bonds they make with each other and how they support one another as they work towards a common goal.

1) I have coached at Melrose Area Schools for 8 years.
2) I am currently the head coach for the Rosettes Dance Team and the Melrose Football Cheerleaders.
3) My favorite part of coaching is seeing how hard work, high expectations, and consistency motivates student-athletes to be the best versions of themselves.

3rd year as Assistant Speech Coach
I just love watching the confidence grow throughout the season with each speaker. Speech teaches lifelong tools to help students with public speaking, creative writing, and dealing with adversity with subjective judges. They learn that supporting others is a key component to having a championship team. Every speaker makes a difference and is truly valued and important to our success! Plus - an amazing coaching staff is an added bonus!

This will be my 9th season coaching Fastpitch Softball for Melrose Area Schools.
Last summer, I had the privilege to be asked to help coach the Freeport youth fastpitch program.
My favorite part about coaching is sharing the passion for the game of softball with these girls, and watching them grow as an athlete-- and as a person throughout their softball and high school career.
