I started at Leyden in 2001 teaching Pysical Education and Health. During my time here I have taught a number of different courses and have a true passion for personal fitness and helping kids learn to enjoy exercise and it's many benefits. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I ran the Leyden Sports Academy for 10 years, and am currently working with the West Suburban Conference leadership team, and school leadership program. I have coached both track and cross country, and am currently the head girls cross country coach. I beielve in building knowledge as well as confidence, independence, and leadership skills in all my students and athletes.
