Shelly has been teaching for the last 20 years in the states of Oregon and Washington. She has taught at all levels, with the majority of time at the middle school level. She currently teaches at University Prep, in Seattle, WA, teaching 6th and 7th grade P.E. and Health.

Shelly’s philosophy regarding teaching Middle School P.E. is one that she wants her students to see the value of becoming lifelong movers, and positive impacts in their communities. Her goal is to find something that they enjoy and value. She believes this by showing and exposing her students to as many physical activities, sports, and fitness opportunities. She hopes that each of her students will find at least one they are passionate about and develop their confidence and positive self-esteem resulting in a lifetime of success.  “Meet them where they are at and find joy in what you do!”
