Personal Statement
Information About Winter '25 Quarter Classes
HEA150 Health and Human Sexuality (Fully Online)
HEA150 Health and Human Sexuality is traditionally fully online: there are no Zoom meetings, and all class work (readings, weekly and biweekly homework, biweekly quizzes, one project, and two exams) are online, and to be submitted via Canvas. There is no textbook. HEA150 is a "survey" course, which means content is more general and broad in scope. Topics we will cover include behavior change, personality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, physical activity, tobacco, alcohol, other psychoactive substances, basic reproductive physiology, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and aging. A link to the current quarter's reading and homework can be found here. I look forward to working with you all!
PEC139 Yoga Pilates (Hyflex = option of in-person or virtual via Zoom or asynchronous via Zoom recording, Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 11-11:50am)
Students can attend in person or via Zoom, MWF 11-11:50am. If students cannot participate on a particular day, they can still earn credit by participating in and briefly summarizing the Zoom recording, which I upload after each class session. In-person students: please bring a yoga mat if you have one, but it’s not required. Virtual students: you will need at least a 6’ x 6’ space so you can move, stand, sit, and lie down comfortably, and you may want a towel or blanket to help with support in some activities. All students, please wear loose-fitting, non-restrictive clothing. We will be working without shoes and socks. Let’s get moving!
My Teaching Philosophy
As a Physical Education and Health instructor, I assist students with their proactive efforts to improve wellness. I fully support an individual's decision and steps to positively change health and wellness, and wish for that person to find inspiration to continue participating in physical activity beyond the classroom.
