In addition to the exceptional M.Ed. program at Georgia State, I have had numerous personal and professional experiences over the last ten years that I believe have shaped me into a qualified physical education teacher. In one way or another, my life has revolved around physical activity and sport.
Some of these activities have included playing on the US National Team Handball team, participating in local basketball and soccer leagues, hiking rim to rim in the Grand Canyon, and completing a handful of sprint triathlons and half marathons. Professionally, I have had the honor to serve as the head basketball coach at the collegiate level, managed a University club sport program consisting of twenty-five club teams, worked numerous sport specific camps, and for the past three years have taken a leadership role in directing a Sports Fitness Camp for youth ages five to twelve.
I think my experiences exemplify my innate passion to live as actively as possible, take in everything life has to offer, and share my knowledge and skills with those around me. I truly think I have a lot to offer the profession and am excited about the opportunities that my future holds. My overarching goal is to serve as a positive role model for children (and adults) and serve as a facilitator to promote greater awareness and application for living a balanced, active, and healthy life.
