I've provided quality recreational and sports programming for children in the Washington, D.C. area. I began my career as an assistant preschool teacher and transitioned into after-school programs. I began working with children in HS taking child development classes and interning as an assistant PE teacher at the elementary school I attend as a child. After HS I worked for different after-school programs and ended up at Lafayette elementary school in 2008 as the preschool teacher for the after-school program then transitioned into the program's sports coordinator and specialist. That led to me coaching the school's flag football team and then starting a sports and group games recess program as well as a girl power program to get more girls involved in recreational activities.
Mission
My mission is to help children develop emotionally, mentally, and physically through sports and group games.
My Goal
I want to help children understand that sports are not only physical but also mental and emotional as well. We make a conscious effort to teach children all the things you can gain from sports and games that can benefit them beyond the court or field. There are so many core values and positive character traits you can gain from physical activities like perseverance, commitment, dedication, hard work, teamwork, discipline, integrity, sportsmanship, leadership, respect, responsibility, being unselfish, effort, communication, empathy, passion, develop a work ethic, and these different traits can help children at a very young age with self-awareness self-confidence self-respect positive self-esteem as well as building others up versus breaking others down.
What type of learning environment
A healthy and fun environment where children can develop positive values, morals and learn life lessons through sports and group games.
