Educational/Clinical Background:

I have a B.S. degree in Occupational Therapy, M.S. degree in Education, and a Ph.D. in Teaching and Learning: Research Methodologies. My clinical practice background has been in the areas of acute care, adult rehabilitation, home health, outpatient rehabilitation, long-term care, and clinical services management. I’ve worked clinically in Fargo, ND and in Duluth, MN.

OT Department Responsibilities:

I teach coursework related to OT practice aspects for people who have physical dysfunction, courses for third year MOT students on community-based health systems, and two on-line MOT courses. I also mentor third year MOT students who are developing their scholarly projects. I very much enjoy advising students in scholarly projects and seeing the plans develop into results that help our clients and promote the profession. Other courses that I have recently taught are principles of muscle function and quantitative research for OT.

Research/Scholarly Interests:

My clinical and research interests include a wide variety of topics related to neurorehabilitation, OT practice for adults who have physical or cognitive-perceptual dysfunction, and occupation-based practice that encourages participation and better quality of life. I am currently pursuing clinical research on interventions for persons after stroke and in understanding hand therapy from a client perspective. My other scholarly interests have to do with promoting student learning, including knowledge of evidence-based practice (which has to do with making good clinical decisions based on experience, knowing the client’s interests, and research evidence).
