I was born and raised in Bismarck, North Dakota. I completed both a Bachelor of Science in Biomechanics in 2022 and a Master of Science in Kinesiology in 2024 from the University of Mary. During my time as a student, I developed a strong foundation in human movement science, with a focused interest in applied biomechanics and performance analysis.
Why I’m At MaryMy hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology gave me a unique perspective on the practical applications of what could be utilized in the University of Mary's Biomechanics Program and Performance Laboratory. With a background that bridges both academic study and real-world applications, I am looking forward to contributing to the same university that helped shape my professional journey.
Expertise
Following graduation from my Master program, I spent a year working for Treadmetrix, a company specializing in high-performance gait analysis technology. In this role, I traveled across North America, installing and providing technical support for advanced motion capture and force measurement systems used in clinical, athletic, and research devoted settings.
