I spent a long time trying to find what I was passionate about in my younger years. The problem is I am passionate about so much! I served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 7 years where I found a passion for fitness and teaching. I finished my Bachelors of Exercise Science while serving and left to pursue a Masters of Exercise Physiology at George Washington University. During my studies, I developed a deep passion for studying and understanding how diet and exercise affect our bodies. During a conversation about how to combat the childhood obesity epidemic, it occurred to me that until College, I had never received real information on how to live a healthy life. I had relied on hearsay and experimentation. This epiphany drove me to The University of Southern California and a Masters in Teaching. I now get to combine my passions for exercise and health with teaching, and through the powers of the CTE, pathway exposes each of you to these passions at an early age. I am very excited to continue the learning journey with you! Single Subject Teaching Credential: Biological Science
