To say that I love my job is an understatement. I am truly passionate about being a Physical Education teacher and wholeheartedly believe in the importance of Physical Education. My focus is on educating the whole child, incorporating social and emotional learning with movement. My goal is to inspire students to be the best version of themselves and make a lifelong commitment to physical well being and health.  All, of course, while having a lot of fun! On a daily basis I reiterate that gym is not a competitive space. It is a space to push yourself independently and be a team player working well with others.  My professional career has had many facets, and every step has fit perfectly into my life.  I have dual bachelor degrees in both Marketing and Advertising from Syracuse University and am a licensed educator currently pursuing my masters in Physical Education.  I am also a Certified Group Fitness Instructor.  I enjoy spending time with my family, walking my dog, going to the beach, and snowboarding.
