I was asked to teach a class on Accessible Recreation during the Fall Term 2001 and I really enjoyed the experience. So when the opportunity came along to become a full-time instructor, I jumped at the chance. I joined the faculty in Fall 2002. I teach courses in the introductory level as well as those that specialize in Theraputic Recreation.
I came to BYU from the University of Utah where I was working as a social worker on the rehabilitation unit. I was providing counseling and education to people with injuries and limitations of all kinds, but with special assignment to the Intermountain Spinal Cord Injury Center.
My Master\'s Degree is in Social Work. I completed my studies in 1988 and began working in rehab. At that point I discovered how well my personal theories matched those of Therapeutic Recreation. I immediately began studies and was licensed the following year as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. My excitement was based on the fact that the theories of rehabilitation counseling and recreation worked so well together as to lose track of where one ends and where the other begins. I use all tools available to make a difference for the people experiencing paralysis due to injury or illness and the immediate threat that the person perceives to the happiness, quality of life and their very existence.
