"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Hello everyone! I am the physical education teacher for our high school. I attended all Santa Ana schools throughout my K-12 education. I also played organized sports in middle and high school which included basketball, tennis, volleyball and soccer. I went on to Santa Ana College in an attempt to continue playing college sports and complete my general education with an emphasis in Kinesiology (study of the human body). I then transferred to Cal State Fullerton to complete my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. Right after finishing my Bachelor's degree I completed my credential in physical education at CSUF. I continued my post-grad college career at CSUF with a Master of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in sport psychology. My interests in how the human body works and in sport performance have driven my higher education journey.

I am a published author in the area of Kinesiology and physical education. My current research work is with NCAA Division 1 Latino athletes and how to improve their performance on the field and in the classroom.

My favorite hobbies include traveling, exercising and collecting shoes.
