•About me (golf) My name is Noel Sims. I am a professional golfer located in Phoenix, Arizona. I am 28-years old and have been playing the game since I could walk. I have been competing in golf tournaments from ages 3-current and have played in some elite events as a junior golfer, amateur golfer and professional golfer. While finishing my junior career, I was ranked the #1 African-American in the nation and top 240 in the world on the JGS rankings. I played 1-year at South Mountain Community College where I was apart of a NJCAA National Championship team in 2016 and finished my collegiate career at Alabama State from years 2017-2021 (redshirt year at SMCC and a Covid-19 year at ASU). I was a consistent starting at both programs and have a lot experience of playing different styles of golf. I turned professional in 2021 and have made 2/2 cuts at the 2021 Outlaw Tour Wigwam Red Classic and the 2023 Arizona Open (haven’t played much professional due to finishing my Master’s Degree while also working after my collegiate career). • About me (education) I have an extensive passion for helping others reach their true potential. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My passion for others goes farther than just helping others in a room, but also outdoors! I find enjoyment in seeing others progress and passing my knowledge to others when it comes to golf and also recommendations with life.

As a college professor with over seventeen years of experience tutoring students in writing, grammar, and reading comprehension, I focus on patience, clarity, and practical strategies. I tailor each lesson to the student's pace so they feel confident and supported. With my knowledge of what is expected in college-level writing, I help students master these skills (including MLA, APA and Chicago Formats) so they enter their freshman year prepared and less stressed.

I have 5 years of experience working with children and love helping them grow in reading and writing. I'm patient, supportive, and believe every child learns differently. My goal is to make learning enjoyable while building confidence and strong literacy skills.
