Why did you choose Kinesiology<\/h2>\n

I fell in love with teaching children through movement! \u00a0I chose Kinesiology\u00a0for their MATCP program with certification in Health and Physical\u00a0Education. I wanted this specific program because it was straight to the point and\u00a0gave me the education I needed without having to take any unnecessary\u00a0coursework.<\/p>\n

What has been the best part of being a part of the Department of Kinesiology at URI<\/h2>\n

The hands on experience here is amazing. Having the opportunity to work directly\u00a0one on one with students of all backgrounds and abilities has really given me the\u00a0skills I need to become the best teacher I can be. \u00a0It’s a huge reason why I was able to get the job I did.<\/p>\n

What advice would you like to give to students considering the program in Kinesiology<\/h2>\n

My advice would be to consider what fits you the best. The MATCP program fit me\u00a0because I already had an undergraduate degree and wanted to become certified to\u00a0teach. If this is you, then it’s a good fit!<\/p>\n

What is next for you<\/h2>\n

I have just accepted a full time teaching position at Blackstone Valley Prep; I am\u00a0really looking forward to starting my career and impacting the lives of our future\u00a0youth!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
