My professional practice is very student-centered. This lends itself to the close-knit culture of Aurora University.  I consider myself an advocate for my students. I take pride in mentoring students and advising the athletic training student organization. I work hard to ensure my students receive a high-quality education through the integration of adult learning theory into both coursework and clinical education. This practice is informed by my research interests in clinical education and the integration of adult learning theory into athletic training curriculum and pedagogy.
