| Title: | Head Coach |
As the inaugural eSports coach at Ridgewater College, I am bringing a lifelong passion for gaming and strong dedication to student development to the program. As an avid gamer with a deep appreciation for strategy, teamwork, and competition, I am excited to help establish and grow the college's first ever eSports team!
I have been teaching in the NDT department for almost six years. As a teacher, my focus is to make meaningful connections with students and taking a genuine interest in their academic, personal, and professional development. As a coach, I will also take a student-first approach, prioritizing both competitive excellence and personal growth.
In my own time, you will find me enjoying strategy, role-playing, and first-person shooter games. It seems that as I get older, my reflexes are not what they used to be, so I mostly play strategy and RPGs now. I have always loved video games which is why I am so excited to share my enthusiasm with the students.
