Outside of my passion of working with kids in my teaching job, I love spending time with my son participating in all outdoor sports/activities, especially watching him play hockey! I also have a passion for rescuing dogs and providing foster care for them. Gymnastics is another love and has been a huge part of my life, both as a college gymnast and as a coach for many years!
I believe that ALL kids, regardless of their ability level, deserve to feel confident as a "mover" and deserve ample opportunities to grow and develop in their motor skills!
