Interests & Hobbies:

I have two young children that occupy much of my time outside of work. In addition I enjoy jogging, camping, and sports.

Growing up in wonderful Pittsburgh, PA, I was interested in music and graduated in Music and Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh in 1977. In 1980 I moved to Eugene for graduate studies in Human Anatomy and Athletic Training, and to enjoy the Eugene lifestyle and the myriad outdoor activities available in Oregon. After graduating in 1984, I worked at Cottage Grove H.S. and was offered a relief position here at the UO. I have continued to work here these many years because I truly enjoy working with the students and staff here at The Health Center. I feel fortunate to work with such caring people and privileged to serve students who are bright and interesting people.
