Regarding teaching background, in the past, competitive climbing team coach, taught PE, and currently, I instruct ice and rock climbing technique regularly. Overall, I enjoy lifelong learning and progression; I want to be a part of fostering that mindset in our profession

Constant learning and growth (for everyone)

Play guitar and sing, home workouts and pilates, long hikes (not with a heavy pack), watch (and quote) movies, all the NY Times puzzles (but there isn't enough time in the day), shoot pool, and hang with my friends and family
