Passionate About Education and Emotional Intelligence
Hello, I’m Erica, and I am deeply passionate about education and committed to fostering children’s emotional intelligence. My journey began during my tenure as a middle school coach, where I readily observed the emotional and social hurdles faced by many of my student-athletes. Through the meaningful connections and support I provided, I discovered my innate ability to positively impact their emotional well-being.
My Journey

During my time as a middle school coach, I saw firsthand the emotional and social challenges my student-athletes encountered. It was through these experiences that I realized the power of meaningful connections and support in helping children overcome their struggles. This realization ignited my passion for nurturing emotional intelligence in children.

Partnering with Parents
A Collaborative Approach for Holistic Growth
I believe in the power of collaboration between parents and the coaching process.

Together, we can create a nurturing environment where every child can build a strong foundation for a successful future.
