My Project

Hello everyone! I am transitioning from the science classroom and stepping onto the P.E. blacktop to be a teacher/coach.

This will be my first year teaching P.E.

and I can't wait to help teach and coach my students my first love: sports!

I am looking forward to getting new materials for our students' favorite sports: flag football, volleyball, soccer, pickleball, and a sound system for our dance unit! We have over 1000 students in our low-income school and we want to make their days as enjoyable as possible. I want to invest in these students as much as I can while we connect over our love of sports.

Go CVMS Cougars!
