I am thrilled to be teaching Physical Education and Health at West New York Middle School, where I proudly was part of the first graduating class. My journey in education has been shaped by my diverse background, including a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology from Rutgers University, followed by a Master of Arts in Teaching from Montclair State University. I am passionate about fostering a healthy, active lifestyle among my students and am excited to give back to the community that played a pivotal role in my own educational journey.
Our classroom provides a safe, positive, and inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to be active, build confidence, work together, and develop healthy habits. Students are expected to participate to the best of their ability, demonstrate respect for themselves and others, follow directions, practice good sportsmanship, and come prepared to learn. Our goal is to help every students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our instructional program focuses on Physical Education, Health Education, Fitness, and overall wellness. In PE, students develop fundamental movement skills, coordination, balance, strength, endurance, teamwork, and sportsmanship through individual and team activites, sports, games, and fitness challenges. In Health, students explore topics such as nutrition, hygiene, mental and emotional wellness, decision making, puberty, healthy relationships, and disease prevention. Students are encouraged to apply what they learn everyday life while devloping lifelong habits that support their physical, mental, and social well-being.
