Biography

I have had a long history with Indiana University Kokomo. I worked for the Kokomo Sports Center when we began to teach the HPER-E exercise classes for the university in 2005 and oversaw the program. In 2012, I earned my Masters in Public Management here at IU Kokomo and was asked to join the board of directors of the Alumni Association that year. I began teaching classes for the Allied Health Sciences department as adjunct faculty in 2014 and was hired as a lecturer in 2015 to help teach courses in the health care management track of the Bachelor of Applied Sciences.
