Hello, my name is Michael from Wyckoff in Bergen County, New Jersey. I have experience and enjoy working with youth. I am currently a coach and support youth in learning values in social skills, hard work, listening and having patience— both mine and theirs . It is important to me whether in a gym, home, or any other establishment to build connections with people of all ages. I appreciate that working with children and teens requires patience and understanding. Every child and teen deserve to feel heard and know that they matter in this world. Working with families is something I am looking forward to experiencing, and my goal is for every child, teen and family that I work with to grow and receive the best possible care that is possible. 

I hold my associate’s degree in social work and am currently enrolled at Ramapo College to complete my bachelor’s and master’s program. I enjoy playing and listening to music. My favorite instruments are guitar and drums. I enjoy playing sports and keeping active overall. I am here because helping people is what I want to do, and more importantly when people need my help, I want to be able to extend a hand!
