INSTRUCTOR & COACH / SINCE 2018

Passing the practice on.

At Newton’s Taekwon-do, I teach students of different ages and support athletes preparing for national and international competition.

That includes patterns, sparring, and self-defense, with an emphasis on discipline, respect, and steady improvement. Coaching asks me to explain clearly, observe carefully, and help someone else progress.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

A commitment
that carries across.

Engineering, research, and competition all ask me to keep learning—and keep showing up.

Taekwondo is a substantial part of my life alongside my work in space. The patience to practice, the willingness to accept feedback, and the responsibility of coaching are qualities I want to carry into every team I join.
