I have always been fascinated by the human body and my educational journey has led me to become a physical therapist, certified athletic trainer, physical therapist assistant program director, kinesiology instructor and Human Anatomy  and Human Physiology Instructor. I have 40 years of teaching experience as a clinician and classroom instructor, the last 28 at Columbia College. I retired from full time instruction in 2023, but enjoy being in the classroom and come back to teach in Biology as needed.

I am constantly amazed by the interactions of structure and function within us. I strive to follow the mantra of "ever better" as an instructor, clinician, and human being.

I look forward to having you in class.
