Meet Your Instructor!
Hi, I'm Erin!
I am passionate about physical education and the outdoors, I have a B. Ed. and eleven years of experience teaching, with seven years teaching internationally, and eight years teaching physical education. I have taught children and young adults of all ages, with emphasis of inspiring a passion for physical health and well being as a lifestyle. I believe everyone can find their sport or activity they are passionate about, and am happy to help them in that journey. Currently working towards my Masters in Educational Foundations, I share my love of curriculum development through inquiry learning with all my students. In my spare time you will find me hiking, swimming, or playing with my three goofy dogs. I look forward to sharing my love for teaching and coaching through the Play Gym Coach Training.
