I have to also thank everyone at Barry University, Gulliver Schools, and Miami Lakes for preparing me for this next phase of my career by providing me with the tools and experiences necessary to grow as a person and as a coach. I am thrilled to get started with the team and hopefully add a new dynamic to help our team reach its ultimate goals.”
