I have over seven years of experience working with youth through Parks and Recreation, Boys and Girls Club, and now as an Educational Assistant. Throughout my years working with youth I have learned how to work with youth of all ages ranging from kindergarten to high school. I have received numerous trainings in behavior management as well as first aid/CPR while working for these programs. In addition to that I also have three years experience as a volunteer youth basketball coach and have created my own basketball club team. This experience combined with my college at UNM in the PETE program will allow me to succeed as a future physical education teacher and a head varsity high school coach as I look to build a successful program for both students and athletes here in the state of New Mexico.
