  As Chief Operating Officer, I oversee the operation of
the school. A 1994 graduate of Carlson College of 
Massage Therapy and a licensed massage therapist, I
enjoy a thriving practice in Iowa City, IA. Working in the office of a chiropractor allows me to utilize many of the advanced techniques taught within the curriculum at CCMT.

Like many others, I got interested in the field of massage therapy because I wanted to help others. I am happy to report my initial objective continues to be my passion each day whether I am in the clinic with a client or at the school with a student.


I enjoy being involved in the classroom instruction
on a regular basis. I feel that is the most important
part of my job! I will always strive to have an active
role in the education students receive at Carlson
College of Massage Therapy. I know what it is like to
build and maintain a practice and I will do
everything possible to help each student achieve
that as well!

I am proud to have served as a volunteer with the
AMTA Iowa Chapter since 1998 holding several offices
including serving as Chapter President from 2004-2008.
My current position with the AMTA Iowa Chapter
is Immediate Past President where I serve as a mentor
and an advisor to the current president.

My hobbies include camping, hiking, University of
Iowa sports (Football and Men's and Women's
Basketball), spending time with friends and playing
with my two dogs, KC (mini schnauzer) and Maddie
(schnoodle - a schnauzer and poodle mix).

Educational responsibilities include:
Business Practices
Ethics and Professionalism
Myofascial Massage
Client Interaction
