My work strives to prepare students for their career when their time at Saint Mary's is complete. I am Associate Director of Career Services and a certified career coach. I joined the university in late November and truly enjoy my work with students. Our department will be offering Career Development 101, hopefully beginning spring semester.

If I had 24 hours, I would pick a country that I have not visited and begin the day with a workout, hopefully, a run/walk then join the local people in a popular breakfast place to get a sense of community. Possible destinations are Greece, Iceland, and the Scandinavia area. Then I would spend the day exploring both the tourist musts and local off the beaten path adventures. My 24 hours would be rounded out with an evening escapade and local food. My goal would be to use every possible moment.

As core faculty in the PsyD program I teach advanced lifespan, consultation and advanced practicum, and several electives including Clinical Issues in Aging and Spirituality.  I also serve as the DCT for the PsyD program - and thus am responsible (with Dr. John) for the clinical training aspects of the program.

24 hours I would hike/sit by/hang out at lake Superior with my spouse, a good book and a great cup of coffee. And then share the cooking and eating of a fabulous dinner with my daughters, son in law and grandson.

I teach in the Masters program and doctoral program for counseling and psychological services.  I teach a variety of classes.  I will not be teaching in the fall because I am starting an MBA program thorugh the University of Illinois.

If I had 24 hours I would probably sit outside and read and drink coffee.

If you could do/be anything for an entire 24-hour day what would it be?
It would have to be Oregon in the springtime. Start at sunrise at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Co. to tiptoe through the fields & see the mountains. Head over to the Oregon coast to relax and enjoy the beach, a great dinner, sunset, campfire & sleeping with the windows open to hear the waves all night.
