This is my 28th year here at North Lake School. I graduated from UW-Oshkosh in 1990 and was married shortly after. I have a set of wonderful twins who both recently graduated from college and have entered the adult work force. I am very passionate about instilling in children the understanding that they are responsible for their overall health. A fit and healthy child is a happy and successful child!
I enjoy running, swimming. biking, reading, gardening, and spending as much time with my family as possible, I have done over 100 triathlons including two Ironman triathlons in Hawaii. I have also done dozens of marathons including Boston in 2003 and 2008.
I really enjoy teaching all units in gym. Each unit has a unique skill set to offer. I like teaching strategies for each game the students are involved in and I also encourage them to develop their own strategies. I have placed a big focus on Functional Fitness and incorporated this into our warm ups as a way to prepare them for the days activities. Functional Fitness also helps students outside of gym class because the movements they do help prepare them for their sports and any lifetime activities they choose to do.
