Biography

My philosophy has always been to challenge students in the classroom with the overall goal of increasing their competence and confidence. Preparing students for the profession of athletic training requires substantial efforts and practice in and out of the classroom. I am an active clinician that is still practicing as an athletic trainer and I demonstrate to my students the importance of continual engagement and lifelong learning.
