I am a physical education teacher in New York City who is committed to embracing a more inclusive and empathetic teaching style in physical education. I consider myself to be an anti-racist teacher — and by embracing this approach, I aim to co-create inclusive learning environments in physical education.

I’ve spent much of my career working with and talking to hundreds of physical educators around the United States.
