A little about me:
I grew up playing soccer for Tullahoma Soccer Association, Camp Forrest, as well as the middle and high school teams. In high school I participated in many clubs, but I also developed a love for community service. My junior year I began spending my wednesdays volunteering at HotMeals, and my senior year I began coaching U-8 soccer.
After graduating high school I attended Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, TN where I continued attained my degree in Sociology with a Criminal Justice concentration. While in college I continued playing goal keeper for my intramural soccer team and served the community with a national service sorority volunteering just under 350 hours during my four years. My love for sociology and research flourished, and I was fortunate enough to act as a teaching assistant for my favorite professor. It has been my goal since to become a professor of sociology at a university. I also worked in the Sociology and Political Science student computer lab and study lounge and often found myself tutoring or providing notes to other students in classes I'd taken previously.
After I walked across the stage I moved to Atlanta where I landed my first full-time job and learned that, while I like the city, I don't love the traffic. My job allows me to work remotely, so I enjoy traveling when I can and enjoy working in my sweatpants when I'm home.
As I said before I have a B.S. degree in Sociology with a Criminal Justice concentration. I have experience tutoring college students in courses such as Intro to Sociology, Data Management (although it's been a while), Juvenile Delinquency..etc. I also was very interested in psychology and took courses such as Developmental Psychology, Organizational Psychology, and Abnormal Psychology. In addition to tutoring students as a TA, I also tutored students while working in the Department of Sociology and Political Science office and student computer lab.
I began playing soccer at the age of seven, only delayed by my love for basketball and t-ball. It took me a couple years to discover the game. I began playing goal keeper two years later. Camp Forrest was founded the following year, and my friends and teammates were the first players to have the privilege of traveling to play. I continued playing soccer as a goal keeper or defensive midfielder until I had finally sustained too many injuries. At that point, I turned to coaching. It started as a favor to a friend to help as an assistant coach to a U-18 recreational team, which at the time consisted of players ages 14-18. I worked with two players on goal keeping skills. My senior year of high school I coached my younger sister's U-8 team in the fall season and helped as an assistant coach the following spring season. In college, I returned to playing soccer in the intramural league (and won the championship for our division), and the following three years coached and played for my sorority's team. My senior year, I took a team of women (all but three of whom never played soccer) and took them to the championship final. We lost a physically brutal match, but that was my proudest moment.
If you have questions or would like to schedule a lesson please contact me to learn more about my schedule. Typically, I am free in the evenings during the week or on weekends.
