Welcome!
Pursuing Lifelong Wellness
Unlike
most coaches, I haven't been eating, sleeping, and breathing athletics
since birth. In fact, I wasn't an athlete. Growing up in New Braunfels,
Texas, I played outside, but never felt driven to join organized sports.
After
high school I began pursuing a higher education, but without a clear
direction, I enrolled in classes that sounded fun. During this time, I
registered for “Intro to Education” and a “Physical Conditioning
Course.” Within the first few weeks of class, my passion for education
and physical fitness surfaced. Around this time a close friend invited
me on a “short” run through the park… 6 ½ miles later I practically
crawled back to my car. As my eyes popped open the next day, I felt it -
the drive to go running again. Call me crazy, but I hopped up and
tackled a 3 mile run. Nothing fancy - I was hooked!
Although
I didn't begin life as an athlete, my love for fitness and education
grew throughout my college career at The University of Texas At San
Antonio.
I
am excited to start this new adventure in Alamo Heights! My passion for
teaching and inspiring young minds to pursue physical education
flourishes daily. I am looking forward to reaching both athletes and
students who feel less athletically inclined - as I have been on both
sides of the coin.
