To share my knowledge and passion for physical education with students at various grade and developmental levels while teaching the importance of both physical and mental health in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

• Becoming a physical educator has been something I’ve always seen myself becoming one day, but I was unsure if I wanted to take that next step in life. After having the opportunity to volunteer as a varsity, JV, and modified lacrosse coach, I ultimately knew this was where my heart was. Coaching pushed me to pursue a career as a physical educator because it made me realize I love having the opportunity to teach students and broaden their knowledge of sports and education. One idea I want to be able to teach is how important inclusion is, not only in physical education but also in the real world. I want my students to form an understanding of teamwork, while also integrating respect towards their peers, family, and themselves. I want students to explore and find their confidence while always stressing the difference between that and arrogance.
