I’ve been busy doing things the entirety of my professional career. In 2023, I decided to take a chance and give umpiring a try – something I always wanted to do. After a season of High School and Junior High Baseball games, I realized that what I loved most about umpiring was being inside the ropes and being part of the game, so I decided to explore teaching. Being a person who believes the best way to learn anything is to dive-in, I signed up to be a substitute (sub) teacher and landed a full time gig as long-term sub at Eisenhower Middle School in August 2023. At the same time, I enrolled in an Alternate Certification Program, took a bunch of tests, completed 240 hours of course work, and received my English Language Arts (ELAR) Teaching Certificate in July of 2024. Like I said, I was busy doing things. I accepted a job as an Eighth Grade English Language Arts teacher at Jackson Middle School in August of 2024, and that experience extinguished my desire to be a teacher. What I learned most over the last two years of my teaching journey; in addition to loving a challenge, is that I am not afraid to take chances. I proved myself to be an adept and engaging teacher, and in my short time I was rewarded with the best kind of professional referrals I’ve ever received: letters from students thanking me for helping them. It was a wonderfully, difficult, demanding test that I passed for the most part. I’m grateful for the opportunity, but the time had come for me to get busy working on the next chapter of my professional career. Now, I’m busy learning, evolving, and completing all the unfinished projects I left on the table two years ago. I can do, for you.
