I have been teaching since 2010. I continually look to learn, improve my teaching, and grow as an educator and as a person. While I believe my pedagogy has shifted, my philosophy on physical education and education as a whole has not changed.

 

In 2016, I transitioned from the general education classroom to physical education. This shift came from a passion for the outdoors and movement, along with a push from some special people in my life. I have been active all my life and I strive to pass my passion for movement and an active lifestyle to my students as well as the people around me. Even before I began teaching physical education, I had worked to get students active through movement breaks in the classroom, after school groups, and more.

​

After all these years, my philosophy hasn't changed. I continue to work on improving students' health by focusing on the whole child. At Irish Elementary Escuela Bilingüe, we focus on the whole child by integrating social emotional learning, physical health, mental health, and more - all through a dual language lens.
