I have devoted my career to helping people fall in love with physical movement and have worked with pre-K through elderly adults in fitness programs, sports & recreation management, corporate wellness programs, and teaching physical education. I have a Masters in Public Health, a Masters of Arts in Teaching Health and Physical Education, numerous fitness and outdoor adventure certifications, and was part of the very first batch of certified PHASE International PE Teachers. Although I began my career motivated by a desire to help people live a physically active lifestyle, my current passion is how we can use physical activity as a vehicle to teach the five social emotional competencies - Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making.
