What do you love about teaching? What are you most looking forward to?  

I love helping students acquire skills in the scan lab! I am looking forward to the progress the students will make over the course of the semester. 

Tell us a little about yourself! What is your background? 

I have been working as an ultrasound technologist at MU Health Care for the last 13 years. Prior to that, I worked within the world of Animal Science. I have also been teaching online as an adjunct for State Fair Community College ultrasound program for the last 5 years. 

When you are not teaching, what are you up to?  

I ride horses with my husband and daughter, and I compete in barrel racing. I also enjoy working out, reading and spending time with friends and family. I am also actively involved at Redeemer Church of Moberly. 

What brought you to Mizzou? To your field?  

I have always loved Mizzou! I have two degrees from here and have worked for MU Health Care for a long time. My start in Animal Science is what brought me to ultrasound. I used ultrasound for research in horses and cattle before I came back to Mizzou for my master’s degree in Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound. 

What is a fact about you that your students might not expect? 

I had no idea who did ultrasound exams on people before I was about 25 years old!
