I have been an integral part of the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University community since 2009, bringing over a decade of experience as a user-centric instructor and learning designer. My expertise lies in crafting and delivering course curriculum and content that enhances the overall student experience, using a unique blend of creativity and data-driven insights. I've taught a diverse range of courses, including Anatomy & Physiology, Assessment of Health & Function, Management Information Systems and Social Media & Technology for Business.
My professional journey at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø has been marked by a commitment to innovation and excellence. As a Senior Laboratory & Technical Specialist since 2016, I've designed online content for human physiology courses, developed cloud-based solutions for departmental needs, and championed the integration of VR teaching and research within various courses. Over the past three years, I have pioneered ultrasound education into our A&P lab. In addition to my instructional responsibilities, I've served on committees, chaired search committees, and continuously worked to enhance lab capabilities through successful funding applications.
My journey in education extends beyond 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University. As an Adjunct Anatomy Instructor at WWAMI Spokane, School of Medicine, and Adjunct Faculty at the School of Business, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University. Furthermore, my role as an Information Design Consultant has allowed me to apply my expertise in designing websites, social media content, advertising campaigns, and drone videography for a range of clients.
Prior to my career at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University, I owned & operated my own business in Bozeman, Montana for almost a decade. As a certified Exercise Physiologist and Strength & Conditioning Coach my mission was to reduce the prevalence of chronic disease and sports-related injuries with my clients. During this time, I developed an effective program to reduce risk of knee injuries in skiers. My program was adopted by Bridger Freestyle Team and MSU Alpine Ski Team.
My educational background includes a Master of Science in Health & Human Development – Exercise Physiology & Nutrition from Montana State University - Bozeman and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from the same institution. In addition to my formal education, I've engaged in continuous professional development through courses in Adobe CC, UX/UI, and Project Management from LinkedIn Learning.
With a diverse background and an unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, I eagerly anticipate continuing my journey as an educator and learning designer at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University.
