My Teaching Philosophy

Health and physical education have always been a priority in my personal life, so it was a natural progression to choose a career in a field I am passionate about. I began my career as a personal trainer. It gave me great satisfaction to help others learn to live a healthier lifestyle.

 

Teaching is an opportunity to reach more individuals at a critical time in their lives when children are developing their lifestyle choices and habits. I was very fortunate to have my student teaching experience with some of the best educators in the Bay Shore Union Free School District. I enjoyed working in a diverse community with such professional and dedicated educators. 

 

My experience as a full time educator in Brooklyn has been a reminder of the impact a teacher can have on their students. I feel the passion I have for my subject area motivates the students to grow through learning, and in turn, their curiosity motivates me to be the best teacher that I can be.

 

I am a highly enthusiastic teaching professional and it shows through in my passion for promoting hard work and dedication toward living a healthy lifestyle. My life experiences have put me in a position to help direct and motivate students who may be at risk due to adverse circumstances in their own lives. A healthy lifestyle is a prerequisite to a successful education. As the saying goes, “a sound mind lives in a sound body.”
