Coach Miranda
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be coaching T-ball at Drifton Park! I bring a unique blend of experience and passion to the field—I’m a longtime nurse with several years of hands-on care, and I’m certified in both CPR and First Aid for your peace of mind. I also have a background in early childhood education, which helps me connect with and support young children in a way that’s both fun and developmentally appropriate.
As a proud mom of two wild and energetic boys, I truly understand the joys (and challenges!) of this age group. Most importantly, I absolutely love teaching and inspiring kids between the ages of 4 and 7. I believe in building confidence, encouraging teamwork, and making every moment on the field a chance to grow, learn, and have fun. I can’t wait to share this season with your little ballplayers!
