Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I was fortunate to have great teachers who instilled in me the desire to work with young people and to dream about making differences in their lives.
Teaching to me is an avenue to inspire excitement about what each individual student is learning, to guide them to new heights of knowledge and skill and to discover their potential as individuals who can make a difference in their future field of study. Enthusiasm is also a vital part of my philosophy. If we don’t get excited about our teaching in the classroom or gymnasium then how are we ever going to make changes in attitude or perceptions about physical education?
Teaching is a process in which to prepare individuals to be healthy, happy and productive members of society. We do that by equipping our students with the tools that allow them to be successful both in the school setting and in the community.

The heart of my Christian mission at Malone University and my philosophy for teaching is student interaction and the opportunity to guide and impact young lives. Critical thinking skills are practiced through small group work, case studies, outside class assignments, and individual and group presentations. In the exercises I hope to meet the ultimate goal of developing students who can think and reason in an intelligent and ethical manner, and communicate effectively in both written and spoken format.

It is my philosophy and responsibility to present my students with concepts of wellness and exercise that can be applied to their current life situations. I challenge my students to self-assess their current behaviors and develop strategies to support permanent change. My goal is to be a resource for my students, providing them with the necessary tools for behavior change which in turn can enable a commitment to living well. In addition, students within the exercise science major must utilize these skills for promoting healthy behaviors that inspire others to share in the experience of, “offering your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship” (Romans 12:1).
