Areas of Interest:
With children becoming more sedentary due to economic cutbacks in Physical Education at the school level, I really want to engage youth with more physical outlets with the hope that they maintain physical fitness throughout life. I also have a interest working with middle age to geriatric population to help decrease the health related risks that accompany a sedentary life-style. A big passion of mine is sports-specific training to help athletes excel in competition in hopes of making it to the next level of their respective sports.
