FIS

I am a passionate dance, fitness, and education professional with performance, teaching and speaking credits across the globe (China, Brazil, South Africa, Greece, Portugal, U.S.A, England). I am currently pursuing a Doctoral degree in Education and a professor at Centennial College in Toronto. As a teacher, I aim to cultivate an inclusive environment informed by culturally relevant pedagogy embracing the culture, education, and experience of all students. As a PROTRAINER, my focus for new instructors is bridging the gap between their Content Knowledge (expertise is a specific subject, e.g., Powerlifting, Yoga etc.) and Pedagogical Knowledge (the theory and practice of teaching).

Specialties: Pedagogy for Physical Activity, Dance Fitness and Curriculum Design.
