I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor of Science in Sports and Exercise Science as an Exercise Physiologist. After graduation I completed an internship with the Rocky Mountain Cancer Rehabilitation Institute (RMCRI) located in Greeley, CO where I completed my Cancer Exercise Specialist certification. Prior to arriving at the Shaw, I was a personal trainer, with an emphasis on cancer rehabilitation, at The Old Town Athletic Club located in Fort Collins, CO. Since 2007 I have been part of the Shaw Team and look forward to helping many more patients improve their quality of life during treatment. My goal is to educate patients on the importance of exercise in relation to a healthy lifestyle and reduced risk of not only cancer, but many diseases. I want to help each individual develop healthy habits they can adapt to there lives once their treatment is completed.
