Summary

I would consider myself an aspiring teacher who strives to share my love for physical activity with others. I am outgoing, enthusiastic, and I love making a difference in children's lives. I have experience with adapting to a child's needs, whether it is in the classroom or as a coach. I believe that Physical Education helps students become well rounded as a human being. As a whole, having physical education be a part of your life benefits your academic ability, health, and skill set. Exposing students to physical education such as sports, powerlifting, and interactive games, helps better improve the enjoyment of being physically active. I strive to allow students to explore their skill set and challenge themselves with tasks and physical activity that they have never done before.
