Erica Dixon

Hello I'm Erica Dixon, and I am ECSTATIC about the opportunity to bring PASSION and EXCITEMENT into my student's lives everyday. I know that I am connecting with them and making a difference. I can honestly say that it is truly a blessing to be able to do something that I love to do (and would do for free) and share it with others! I consider myself extremely lucky! As a former Physical Education professor at North Carolina Central University for over 8 years and current Director of Campus Recreation (at NCCU), I have the chance to create opportunities for others to live healthy and active lifestyles that that will have a positive impact on their futures. In 1995, I was inspired to make a personal lifestyle change. As an overweight teen who lost 75lbs, I underwent a physical transformation and improved my physical health and well-being. What continues to remain the most rewarding part is knowing that I take full responsibility in being the best me I could be! In 2007-2009, I placed 2nd and 3rd overall in the nation in jump rope. I competed and won 13 medals (7 Gold Medals). In my fitness classes, I inspire my students to do their best while being their best" and I AM LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT ALL!
