I have been an elementary school physical education teacher for the past 18 years. As a P.E. teacher I realized my work with students was making a difference, but I also needed to educate my students parents who ultimately make the nutition and lifestyle choices for their children. This led me to pursue certification in personal training and group fitness instruction. My work as a group fitness instructor includes Family Fitness Nights focusing on various themes such as dance, circuit training, and obsticle course. Over the past several years I have worked to obtain my Corrective Exercise cert., a youth fitness certification, as well as a Fitness Nutrition Specialist certification. I've incorporated my personal training and group fitness cerrtifications to sports specifrfic programs at the high school level as well. For the past 4 years I have been a visiting fitness instructor at Couples Negril Resport teaching Aquacise and group fitness classes. Currently, I am working with a 10 year old child who has a variety of health problems due to obesity.
