About The Teacher

This is my 5th year at Grisham and I am looking forward to a great year. 

I grew up in small town in South Dakota. I then moved west and played 
basketball for the University of Wyoming. After my playing career ended, I 
came to Texas to serve as the Women's Basketball Graduate Assistant Coach at 
Angelo State University. I graduated from ASU in 1999 with a Masters of 
Science degree in Kinesiology.

I'm a huge LA Lakers' fan. I spend most of my time watching, playing or 
coaching basketball. In addition to coaching at Grisham, I am also a 
director and coach of the Austin Lady Magic Basketball Club.

emotional change for our students. Our mission is to create an environment 
that challenges the students to develop unique abilities and strive to reach 
their best physically, academically and socially. The goals for the Grisham 
Middle School Physical Education Program are to help the students:

- Better understand their body and how it functions during physical activity.
- Acquire and maintain a high level of physical fitness.
- Develop a variety of sports skills.
- Become more responsible mentally, socially, emotionally and physically.
- Assume responsibility for their personal health and well-being through an 
  active lifestyle.
