What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered teaching role where I can deliver standards-aligned PE instruction, support diverse learners, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute through coaching or advising.

I am an aspiring and organized physical education teacher with a Master of Arts in Education and experience teaching at middle, elementary, and high school levels. I develop creative, standards-based lessons, incorporate technology like Google Classroom, and prioritize safe, inclusive learning environments.

I have held roles as a PE teacher, PE aide, graduate professor, and coach, working with diverse learners including students with disabilities and serving in supervisory capacities such as locker-room supervision and class advising. My background in kinesiology informs my instruction on movement, anatomy, and life skills.

I am driven to support students' academic and physical development through efficient classroom management, collaboration with departments, and continual refinement of lesson plans and teaching strategies.
