I am currently a paraprofessional and coach at the high school level. I am pursuing my degree in physical education at Trinity Christian College and will eventually pursue endorsements in health and special education. My goal is to motivate and empower my students the way my teachers and coaches did for me. I believe physical education is much more than teaching the rules of recreational sport. I think fitness and exercise can help each one of us tap into a stronger sense of self and help us accomplish the goals we set for ourselves. I want to help my students feel confident and believe in themselves with improved self-esteem, stress relief and numerous other benefits that come from an active lifestyle. I want to be a stable mentor for any student I coach, teach or share a school with.
