Goals and interests

Career goal

Would like to work management one day. Once I have acquired enough experience, I would like to go back to a high school or college level to teach automotive.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy anything with an engine. I love working on vehicles and making them better than stock or fixing them when they break. I also enjoy arts and crafts. One of my favorite things to do is make gifts for people.
