As a undergraduate major in Early Childhood & Elementary Education, and with a Masters Degree in Speech Communications from New York University, I have 10 years total of teaching experience, including elementary school, private and public school, and English as a Second Language. I am a permanent New York State Certified preK-6 teacher. I also hold a full academic and ESL teaching license, with over 3 successful years of ESL and private tutoring experience. My recreational love is bodybuilding and strength training, which I have been practicing for over 25 years and still going strong! Formerly an ACE-certified personal fitness trainer with most of the major health clubs in New York including New York Sports Clubs, the New York Health & Racquet Club, and the YMCA, I am currently writing a book on bodybuilding and strength training and teaching school full-time.
