Profile
Deeply passionate about Life Coaching and using those skills to help individuals find their alignment & purpose. I have teaching assistant experience for over 13 years which taught me discipline, organization, patience, and compassion above all else. Able to work individually and/or with teams to accomplish goals and complete tasks. Decided to transition from the classroom setting to the agriculture setting due to a deep love & appreciation for nature and the outdoors, while always maintaining and applying Life Coaching lessons to my life. In working within classrooms, lecture halls, one on one sessions, the fields & gardens, it all has allowed me to gain well rounded, holistic experiences that I bring to the table.
