Personal Quote:

I enjoy interacting with Athletic Training students at SU, especially as I guide them through their graduate thesis projects. It is exciting to see students grow into informed consumers of the literature as they understand the value of clinical research and the role they can play in advancing Athletic Training practice.

Personal Highlights:

I enjoy going on adventures with my husband and two young children. We have many favorite spots in and around Winchester but also love road trips to the Outer Banks and rural Ohio. I spend a lot of time listening to audiobooks and podcasts while making a mess in the kitchen.
