I started teaching in the fitness and wellness field on the West Coast over 40 years ago, getting my start as a personal fitness trainer, group exercise instructor, and eventually moving into the role of national "trainer-of-trainers". What a wonderful experience it was, although teaching fitness to children is my greatest passion!
After returning to Texas in 1998, I quickly grabbed the opportunity to coach and teach PE at Rockwall ISD. This included serving as PE & Health Coordinator for teachers (K-Grade 12). Fast forward, I feel blessed and privileged to positively impact HCA (PK3-Grade 6) as an Elementary Physical Education teacher. I want every student to know they are loved and will always belong in PE!
I've been married to Mr. DeStefano for 42 years! We have 2 amazing adult kids and their spouses, and 2 precious granddaughters. God is so loving and faithful to our family!
