I currently teach Elementary Physical Education in Indiana. I have been an Elementary/Middle School and High School Physical Education teacher for 30 years. In addition to teaching I have extensive coaching experience in tennis, volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball and rope skipping teams.
I am a get up and go type of teacher. I like to have my students actively engaged in learning and participating to the fullest of their potential. I fully believe "You miss 100% of the shots you never take"(Wayne Gretzky)! My goal is to create a learning environment for kids to try new things and believe in themselves. My curriculum is cross curricular to reinforce the skills that students are learning in the classroom. Students in my classroom enjoy the varied style of teaching when working in whole class instruction, small groups, stations and individual projects.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. Our family enjoys hiking, cycling, walking the dogs, golf, tennis and gardening. I enjoy crocheting baby beanies and blankets for the local hospitals and homeless center.
