A New Jersey native, Nancy realized the connection between physical activity and well being at an early age–as a fifth grader she told her parents she was going to be a physical education teacher. And upon graduating from Springfield College, her prediction became a reality.
After five years of teaching and coaching several sports at the middle school level, she accepted the position of Elementary Physical Education Specialist in the Albemarie County school system in Charlottesville, Virginia. During this time, she also worked as a clinical instructor for the University of Virginia where she earned her Masters of Education, in addition to receiving the 2002 National Physical Education Elementary Teacher of the Year.
After retiring from teaching, she served as the the Albemarle County Facilitator of Health, Physical Education and Family Life. In this role she was able to co-author one book (Teaching the Nuts and Bolts of Physical Education, Building Basic Movement Skills), write another (Self-and Peer-Assessments for Elementary School PE Programs), and publish nearly a dozen articles for Strategies and JOPERD.
