About Me

As a dedicated middle school health and physical education teacher since 2007, I bring a wealth of knowledge through my multiple certifications in K-12 Physical Education, K-12 Health Education, NASM Personal Training, and Nutrition Coaching. With my degree in Physical Education and additional studies in Health and Adaptive Physical Education, my academic journey continues with a completed master's in Educational Theory and an upcoming Master of Educational Leadership degree in 2026. My teaching philosophy centers on empowering students to question, create, and solve problems while balancing humanity with technological advancement. My leadership extends beyond the classroom through active involvement in professional organizations including SCAHPERD, where I served as president of SCAPES, and through extensive work with Special Olympics in Michigan and South Carolina as a coach, advocate, and contributing author. With coaching experience in soccer, track, cross country, and Olympic lifting, I've dedicated my career to quality physical education, thoughtful assessment, and curriculum design that inspires students to embrace lifelong healthy, active lifestyles.
