Biography

You made a great choice, picking Bemidji State University! I am a Bemidji State University Alum of Sports Management (BA), Physical Education, DAPE, Coaching (BS), and Sport Science (MS). My Doctorate is from the University of Alberta, Canada, in secondary education and adapted sport. This academic path has prepared me for quality teaching, research and community engagement with inclusive and adapted sports.

My husband, Wayne, and I have a daughter, Kirsten, and son-in-law, Michael. We also have five grandchildren: Harley, Lauren, Wren, Lainey, and Collin. Zico, Dudley, and Dexter are our fur babies. I enjoy running, golf, curling, reading and painting. We hope to travel and see the world’s beautiful wonders.
