Currently, I am the Adapted Physical Education teacher at Austin ISD covering the southwest and southeast territory which includes 20 schools total. I excel at behavior modification, differentiated instruction and curriculum development. I take a non-competitive approach to P.E. in the hope that all students can find a way to enjoy being active.
