Autobiography

In September 2014 I began the Teacher Education Program at the University of British Columbia, but my journey before this has been full of great experiences shaping my views, perspectives and passions.

As a UBC Kinesiology graduate, fitness coordinator and instructor I have worked in the health and fitness industry for the past 6 years.  I have worked with clients in one-on-one personal training as well as as a group fitness leader and coordinator. I developed my own Bootcamp program which continued to grow over the past 4 years and is still being used to help individuals get fit and stay fit.

 

 

As an avid soccer player and enthusiast for over 12 years, I have been and continue to be involved in the Metro-Womens Soccer Association of Greater Vancouver. Soccer is my passion and I feel as both a player and coach I have learned many valuable life lessons which ultimately help shape my teaching philosophy with my own students.

I love to travel and be immersed in different cultures, engaging with the people and learning new languages. I have been to 6 continents and each trip has been an unforgettable experience. I have had the opportunity to learn a new language, coach a children’s soccer program, run summer kids camps, learn new sports, teach Grade 1 ESL, and most of all step outside of my comfort zone in every country to experience it to the fullest.

My life’s experiences have impacted how I see the world, my community, and my career and plays a large role in shaping my teaching philosophy.
