About Me
This is my 10th year teaching health at Strong Middle School. I graduated from the State University of New York at Brockport in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in School and Community Health Education. I recently obtained my Master's degree at Wesleyan University. The journey for me at Strong Middle School has been both exciting and rewarding!
I grew up in upstate New York - Saratoga Springs to be exact. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar, cooking, walking my dog, reading, running, figure skating, hiking, camping, traveling, and being with my friends and family!
The reason that I became a health teacher is because I believe that Health Education is essential for students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be effective communicators, critical thinkers, and self-motivated learners. Our health curriculum not only focuses on the comprehension of health-related topics, it requires analysis and demonstration of skills as well. Students will also be encouraged to be advocates for healthy decisions. Because being healthy is a lifestyle choice, students will be analyzing their progress on this choice throughout the trimester. I look forward to an exciting and healthy trimester together! :)
