I have been fortunate enough to positively impact the lives of over 18k students through initiatives focused on building a lifelong foundation for a healthy lifestyle, positivity, fitness, activity, teamwork, mobility, leadership, responsibility and functional physical learning. Any teacher will tell you that our role extends far beyond the classroom and lesson planning. My real passion and unique ability is creating human connections with my students, their families and my community. This allows me to serve others in a largely under-served community. By taking on leadership roles and launching special health & wellness initiatives, I've been able to significantly impact the lives of countless children in my community.
