I was born in White Plains, New York and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I received my BS in Kinesiology with concentration in athletic training from Indiana University (Bloomington). I have worked as an athletic trainer in the areas of football, wrestling, softball, and track and field. My MS in Kinesiology (again with concentration in athletic training) is also from Indiana University. I have worked at Cumberland University in Lebanon Tennessee, at Wilmington College in Wilmington, Ohio, and I have been employed by Kent State University since 2000. Currently, I am an athletic trainer and instructor and the clinical education coordinator. I oversee volleyball and athletic training students and off campus clinical experiences.
