My Place at IVCC
I began my journey at IVCC in September of 1999 when I was hired as a Fitness Center Instructor soon to become the Fitness Director for our satellite program at LTV Steel. My responsibilities broadened as I had the opportunity to teach as an Adjunct Faculty from the summer of 2000 through 2003. I am currently in my third year as a full-time Health and Wellness instructor at IVCC.
The following portfolio will give you insight into my time at IVCC. You may navigate through the portfolio using the icons at the bottom of each page. Please click on underlined headings for more information in the respective areas. I have also created a paperfolio ( ) containing documents supporting the essence of my tenure pursuit. Student work products are included throughout the paperfolio. Please refer to the corresponding labeled categories for further exploration.
