About me
My name is Joseph Ansalone. I Graduated from Long Island University in 2016 with a B.A in Physical and Health Education.
I worked at a school called ACDS (Association for children with down syndrome) for a year and half where i was the adaptive physical/health education teacher for some of the most amazing children you will ever meet.
In 2018 I began my journey as a public school PE/health teacher in NYC's Department of education. Since 2018, I have accrued well over $10,500 in school grants. I have a very high level of energy and want to give my students the very best.
Fun fact about me: I love fitness, working out and playing competitive sports! In my spare time you can find me coaching and playing baseball.
