What year did you start teacing at AU?
2007
How would you describe your classes to someone who has never attended one?
Classes are fun and hands-on, but the exams can be challenging. I rely heavily on practical application as simply having a 4.0, but not the ability to apply one’s skills, is doing a disservice to both the student and their future clients.

Being a Kinesiology major is more than simply having fun or helping people. You really have to be educated about the physiological processes and how/why our body responds the way it does. Those interested in graduate school need to know they need a high GPA and hundreds of hours volunteering. Start networking and collecting hours!
I enjoy working with faculty and staff at AU. It truly feels like a family away from home. We have a large major, but we are close with our students and get to know many of them on a personal level. There is a sense of community within the Kinesiology program and that is the biggest reason I am here.
