Dedicated educator and fitness trainer committed to student success.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced educator currently serving as a 6th Grade Teacher and Grade-Level Lead at Perris Elementary School District. My passion lies in creating engaging and inclusive learning environments that cater to diverse student needs. I have successfully planned and delivered lessons aligned with state standards while fostering a positive classroom atmosphere. My commitment to student success extends beyond the classroom, as I actively facilitate after-school programs, including a sports club and tutoring clubs, to enhance students' learning experiences.
In addition to my teaching role, I am also the CEO and Fitness Trainer at No Breaks Fitness, where I design personalized fitness programs that empower clients to achieve their health goals. My experience as a Fitness Manager at 24 Hour Fitness has equipped me with strong leadership and mentorship skills, allowing me to recruit and train personal trainers effectively. I believe in promoting healthy lifestyles and accountability in nutrition and physical activity, which I integrate into my teaching philosophy.
