New Team Member: Mrs. Medina
Meet Mrs. Medina
My name is Jennifer Fazio-Medina. I am from Iowa originally. San Antonio is great and I have met lots of amazing people, but I still really miss my family and having 4 seasons! I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa many years ago. I am a proud mom of 3 amazing kids. My oldest son is a senior at Cole High school, my middle son is a sophomore at Cole and my daughter is very fortunate to be a 2nd grader here at St Monica! I currently coach gymnastics a couple nights a week and am so excited to to be assisting Mrs. Bazany with the sweet kindergarten kiddos. I LOVE kids!
I have competed in bodybuilding, and power lifting. I have also taught all kinds of fitness classes ranging from senior water aerobics, to spinning, to kickboxing and a few others. I have volunteered to lead fitness classes with teachers after school (wink, wink teachers) and also for the JROTC at Cole.
My favorite way to spend free time is, of course with my kids. I also LOVE to dance!
I am so thankful for this opportunity!
