I’ve coached youth tennis, held mentorship and leadership roles in college organizations, and have hands-on experience in healthcare settings, including working with pediatric patients. I’m CPR certified and also completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training, so I love keeping kids active, engaged, and having fun in a positive environment.
