I've been teaching at Castle Rock since 2013. My passion is helping students balance their health and improve their overall well being. My goal is to help students improve their health habits so they can lead happy, successful lives for years to come. Topics we cover in class are applicable in all areas of life; organization, physical activity, communication, problem solving, decision making and nutrition are a few.
I am a Rocket alumni and I was very fortunate to be able to come back home and teach. After graduating from Castle Rock I moved on to Washington State University. I graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology with a focus in Health and Fitness. Go Cougs! I was a substitute teacher in the Longview and Castle Rock school districts for six months before being hired full time at Castle Rock. Since being hired I have taken on many responsibilities at the high school. I now teach leadership and AVID in addition to my freshmen pe and Active fitness classes. I also advise the Class of 2022, the link crew program, FCCLA and coach the girls' soccer team. I have had so much fun getting involved and helping improve the culture of the school.
This year I am excited to teach my new courses, AVID and Active Fitness, and get to know my new advisory crew. I had great summer spending time with my 1 year old son but I am ready to get back to work and kick off this school year in a big way. Go Rockets!
