12 years ago I was coaching wrestling at Green Valley HS and we won our first state title.

This weekend, I was coaching VEX robotics at ISB and we won the tournament, and excellence awards.

Apparently the 3rd Saturday in February is a good day for me to coach.

Prople have asked if I let students paint everything. If they want to paint I encourage them to. This is how you allow students to take ownership for what they have envisioned and allow them the satisfaction of a finished product. #STEM #GirlsinSTEM

VEX Nationals are this weekend. I think we are almost ready. The mood is pretty hyped in my room. It’s 4:30 on a Tuesday and there’s like 30 kids still here.
