Albuquerque,NM
Summary
I have worked with students for 10 years. My "why" in life is to guide and mentor students in a positive way to impact their journey in life. I also love sports and fitness. Combining the two, I can mold young minded individuals, as I have been, as a positive male role model in the school field and summer/afterschool programs. I plan to teach physical education at the elementary level with this as my core value. I will also encourage students to take what I teach into their adult lives as it is important to be healthy. Focusing more on fundamentals and character building over winners and loser activities .
