Leading Through Wellnes
Beyond the classroom, I’ve led wellness and training programs that mirror my approach to education: building community, supporting adults, and designing engaging learning experiences in diverse settings.
Studio Coaching
In 2017, I became a NASM-certified personal trainer, coaching adults in a fitness studio and leading after-school fitness classes for fellow educators.
Marine Corps Community Services HITT & Youth Programs
While in Okinawa, I served as Fitness Coordinator for Marine Corps Community Services, leading High Intensity Tactical Training (HITT) seminars and PT sessions for 200+ active-duty Marines. I taught weekly fitness classes on base and helped develop the Okinawa Youth Run Club for military-connected children.
Yoga & Staff Fitness Classes
I led yoga sculpt classes as a Yoga Instructor for the local community and continued after-school fitness classes for teachers at my new school after relocating from Okinawa.
These experiences reflect the same skills I bring to my work in education: program design, adult learning, adaptability, and community-building across diverse environments.
