Welcome to my Physical Education website!  I just graduated from Slippery Rock University in December 2008, and was lucky enough to land a job here at Urbana Middle.  Due to my graduation date, I was only able to teach for half of the year, so I am excited to have to opportunity to teach the entire 2009-2010 school year!

          I got into P.E. because of my love for sports and exercise.  At some point in my life, I have played nearly every sport, but my favorites include baseball and soccer.  To stay healthy, I run almost every day, ride my bicycle, perform resistance training, and try to play team sports when I have the opportunity.
          One of my biggest goals is to instill a passion for healthy living into every one of my students;  Not only in regards to daily exercise and a nutritious diet, but also healthy mental living.  By this I mean allowing students to realize their limitless potential, and continue on the right path towards becoming respectful members of their school, family, and community.
