Katie Higginbottom

I am a 25 year old teacher living in London, Ontario. I am single - no boyfriend, husband or children - which means I dedicate my life to my work, both teaching in the classroom and in the fitness studio. I teach Family Studies at South Secondary School. I love the subject I teach as it covers a lot of my passions - eating healthy, overall well-being, making good decisions, healthy relationships, self-esteem building, critical thinking and various social issues. I believe strongly that I teach students how to live, which is far more important than a lot of other subjects. I believe the key to success for myself and for others is to find your passion. I have found my passions in education and in fitness. I love teaching in the classroom and in the studio. I teach 4 fitness classes per week (3 BodyStep, 1 Newbody). Often these classes are the 'highs' of my day. I love entertaining people through a tough workout. I love to inspire people - to want to take control of their lives, improve themselves and to have fun. Life is too short not to smile, laugh and celebrate daily. I try to share this belief with my students in the classroom and my participants in the studio. I love to travel - I have been to Ireland, France, England, and various places in Canada and the USA. The opportunity to work as a fitness instructor at a resort over the march break excites me. This opportunity seems perfect for me at this point in my life.
