About Me

Curiosity has always been one of my greatest strengths.  I enjoy living as a learner – exploring new cultures, getting involved in the local community, and embracing experiences that challenge me to grow.  Spending time outdoors, travelling, and exploring whatever has captured my curiosity at the moment are some of my favorite ways to continue learning.  Whether that’s a new place, a practical skill, or a creative hobby, I find a lot of joy in the process of learning.

Area of Special Interest

My professional interests include creating meaningful learning experiences that encourage students to try something new, challenge themselves, and discover the many ways they can enjoy being active.  Exposing students to a wide variety of activities helps build confidence, resilience, and a willingness to step outside their comfort zones while fostering lifelong habits that support healthy, active lifestyles.
