A few personal notes about me:
I am a Registered Dietitian. My BA is in Dietetics and Managment from the College of St. Scholastica, Duluth, MN and I have a MEd-health emphasis from the University of Minnesota Duluth. My EdD is in Educational Policy and Administration from the University of Minnesota. I am registered as a dietitian by Council on Dietetic Registration, licensed as a dietitian by the state of Minnesota and am a certified Fellow of the American Dietetic Association. I am also certified as a Health Fitness Instructor by the American College of Sports Medicine.
The Department of Health, Physical Eduation and Recreation is my academic home. Currently, I am teaching Hlth 1470 Human Nutrition, ESAT 3410 Performance Nutrition and Weight Management, and Hlth 1100 Health and Wellness: Strategies for Life.
We live on a lake in the Brimson area (about 35 miles from campus). My husband, Ken is also a faculty member in the Exercise Science Program. We have three children: Karl, Liisa and Siri and two mini-daschunds, Ernie & Rosie. When not at UMD or doing family activities, I enjoy needlework, knitting, sewing, kayaking, walking or cross-country skiing.
