Chrissy has over 25 years as an expert/leader in health and fitness education and over 12 years of service as fulltime faculty member at GTCC. She is an advocate for education and wellness.
- As a full time teacher for GTCC, I see the product of GCS. Last year, it was reported only 8% of 8th-9th were proficient in Math 1 equivalencies. There has been a steady increase in the number of remedial Math an English classes offered at GTCC to incoming students because the students are not prepared upon arriving at GTCC. We need to implement programs which improve these statistics at the public school level, so the student can be successful upon entering an advanced educational opportunity or the workforce.
- Our current healthcare system revolves around sick care and providing pharmaceuticals, which often times do not help the patient because the real health issue is not being addressed. My passion is to help people be the best versions of themselves through exercise and proper nutrition. I am a proponent of alternative medicine, healing therapeutics and preventative care.
- Taxes and inflation are out of control and like most people, I am having to make sacrifices or decisions I would not normally make in order to live, based upon the current economic crisis. I am an advocate for Convention of States, which allows We The People to use Article IV of the Constitution to limit the control of the federal government by implementing term limits and establishing constraints on spending and overreaching power.
As a teacher and health and fitness leader, I am passionate about the education of our students and implementing programs which promote school choice, career/technical education and increase literacy in math, reading and civics. I am also a proponent of alternative medicine, healing therapeutics and preventative care as an option to our current failing healthcare system.
