About
I am a graduate with honors in History from St. Mary's College of Maryland and hold a Masters degree in Journalism and Media Studies from the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. I became the Academic Advisor of the undergraduate student publications department at USFSP, for which I was recognized for the “Innovation In Public Service Award.” I attended several conferences and symposiums at the Poynter Institute of Media Studies to further my education and training. I also served as the lead tutor for the football and basketball programs at USF, for which I helped 34 student athletes achieve academic recognition by the NCAA. I have been a contributing writer for several online entities and print publications like FloSoftball, Tampa Bay Business Journal, ESPN, Major League Baseball, America at the Millennium, Reveille, and many others. I was a reporter for the Tampa Bay Times for six years before becoming a national correspondent for ESPN and MLB.com. I served as the senior staff writer for Admiral Farragut Academy, a prep school in St. Petersburg, Florida, that was recently recognized as one of the top 25 military college prep schools in America. In addition to teaching and freelance writing, I have coached basketball on the college and prep level after having played the sport.in college and overseas in Italy. I also have been teaching in college for the past five years after having taught in high school for six years. I love writing and teaching, and every year I am inspired to help students of all ages to begin and continue a path to excellence. Based on the experience covering great athletes, I am working on a book entitled "Greatness by Design."
I enjoy helping kids realize their potential by working diligently towards their goals. I use my experience as an athlete, a coach, and a teacher to develop an individual and specialized approach that works best for each and every student based upon his or her unique characteristics and personality traits.
Students learn best in small amounts.
Overwhelming students with information gets them nowhere. A new weightlifter doesn’t start with 300 pounds. The weightlifter slowly works his way up to large amounts as he becomes accustomed to lifting weights. So it is in life, so should it be in education
