������Ƶ

I've been teaching at ������Ƶ, my alma mater, since Fall 2013. As a trained physiologist, I'm keen on understanding the complex inner-workings of all things during exercise, including muscular energy systems, the heart, and how the nervous system controls it all. I have a special interest in performance physiology and psychology, and I'm excited that I'm teaching during the time in which the interplay between the mind and body unfolds. Some of my favorite books in the area of performance science include: (Alex Hutchinson), (David Epstein), (Christie Aschwanden), and (Bernd Heinrich). I frequently listen to to gain insights into current literature on international sport science topics. At ������Ƶ, I'm passionate about teaching pedagogy, advising and preparing students for their careers, and trying to persuade everyone around me to climb and play pickleball. I reside in Lincoln with my family, Dustin (husband, XC/Track coach at Doane University), Luke, Kate, and two large dogs, Copper and Tamale.
