I have a BS in Behavioral Science with additional coursework in Criminal Justice, Education, & Health and Physical Education. I am very honored to teach Health to our amazing students!
Below you will find information regarding our class syllabus, and general class expectations.

We will be learning about these topics by participating in a variety of fun activities, daily journaling, group/partnered projects, class discussions, and assessments/quizzes.
Class Expectations
We will be covering a variety of health topics that are serious and important. It is important to be respectful of others, the instructor, and most certainly yourself. Let’s make this a safe space for everyone to express, & learn about Health & Wellness.
Grading
Students will be graded on a point system. Students will earn points for each journal entry, activity, and assignment they complete. For this course students will receive a Pass/Fail grade. Communication and student success is key. I will diligently work with students to ensure they receive the best academic experience.
