As a Texas native with a love for the outdoors I love riding and working on bikes and can be found working or volunteering at various bike shops around town. I'm an avid music listener with a lust for a good metal show and enjoy playing a bit of music myself - lately a lot of cello and drums! interestingfact = I teach because I LOVE teaching! I love the connection with students, exploring a range of subjects and interests, and fostering the innate desire for growth and creativity. Understanding your own personal health can be the key to so many other things in life and it's a true joy to help students along on their own health journeys.

Cross Country

This is open to anyone who thinks they may be interested in running or wants to get in shape! No previous classes or experience necessary to join the team. Cross Country generally entails running longer distances but don't worry if you can't run that far yet - we'll work up to it! We compete as a 3A school against others in the region but competition is not a necessary aspect of the class - if you want to run just for you I'd be happy to have you in the class! We start practice as a team over the summer so if you're interested in joining please reach out to me as soon as possible! If you don't decide to join until school starts in August you are still welcome to join.

Track & Field

This is open to anyone who thinks they may be interested in running or wants to get in shape! No previous classes or experience necessary to join the team. Track and Field includes short, medium and long distance running, relays, and a myriad of field events! We compete as a 3A school against others in the region but competition is not a necessary aspect of the class - if you want to run just for you I'd be happy to have you in the class! The competitive season begins at the beginning of 3rd trimester so any student wanting to compete will need to be enrolled in both trimesters.

Yoga

This will be a fun, challenging, enlightening course and I’m so glad to be offering this course! Yoga is a practice centered in the connection between the mind and body, and we will work to increase your understanding of both. My goal is to facilitate yoga classes in a friendly, non judgmental and non-competitive space, and to foster a sense of community amongst individuals interested in growing their spiritual journey through the teachings of Yoga.
