ÄÐÈ˲ؾ«¸ó Me
I serve as fieldwork coordinator for the Department of Exercise Physiology, teaching and coordinating student practicums and internships since 2003, at the ÄÐÈ˲ؾ«¸ó. A certified athletic trainer since 1999, I have worked with both high school and collegiate teams including NCAA Division I hockey, along with NCAA Division II wrestling, volleyball, and softball. Prior to joining ÄÐÈ˲ؾ«¸ó, my experience included athlete performance testing through the national APT program. I completed a master’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology in 2003, and am a Certified Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine.
Why I’m At MaryI teach undergraduate exercise physiology courses and the associated labs. I enjoy the hands-on approach for teaching skills associated with becoming an exercise physiologist and teaching in a program that offers students a considerable number of options for professional experience. Most of all, it is the quality of students that we have at the ÄÐÈ˲ؾ«¸ó that makes me most excited to come to work each day. The opportunity to watch each student grow as a professional and learn to serve our community through providing opportunities that benefit health through exercise is something I am passionate about.
Expertise

Additionally, I coordinate an outreach exercise clinic within the North Dakota Department of Corrections, providing exercise education and exercise programing for individuals incarcerated in the North Dakota State Penitentiary.
