Most memorable teaching experience: Early in my teaching I had worked with a particular student on learning how to jump rope.  We worked on this for a long time.  It was a big challenge for him!   I happened to be watching him the exact second that it clicked.  That expression of pride, surprise, happiness, etc. was priceless.  That is the very reason that I stay in P.E., I love watching and facilitating experiences for my students to learn while they play!

Languages spoken: English

Hobbies, interests: Camping with my family, hiking with my son, baking with my daughter, and reading a great book!

Anything else you want to share? I love teaching at Oak Hill!  I came from out of district last year and I feel so lucky to have been placed here!
