I have had the privilege of serving the American College of Sports Medicine in a leadership role - to advance the Exercise is Medicine (EIM) global health initiative. Exercise is Medicine aims to make physical activity assessment and promotion a standard in clinical care, connecting health care with evidence-based physical activity resources. In that role, I was responsible for creating, writing, editing and providing design direction for multiple EIM resources for patients, health care providers and exercise professionals as well as as the EIM website (www.exerciseismedicine.org). I worked closely with subject matter experts and adapted content using health literacy principles focused on the intended audience. I supervised staff who managed our global network and EIM On Campus programs and contributed to program planning for our national conference.With broad experience as a program director and clinician in sports medicine and health promotion, I’ve launched, managed, and promoted innovative programs to serve athletes, corporate clients, patients and the public. I thrive on building high-functioning teams, as well as driving business via marketing and community partnerships.I love what I do, and am a people motivator and connector. I believe in a collaborative style of leadership, where every member feels valued, can contribute, and becomes invested in the business and the team. I’m skilled at identifying talent and making outstanding hires...choosing the right people gets you 90% of the way there! I also am happy to simply work as part of a team with colleagues who share a vision and commitment to excellence.Over the last two decades I’ve collaborated with marketing and media relations departments to develop and execute targeted marketing plans, increasing brand awareness and patient volumes. I’ve also engaged in extensive community outreach, identifying synergistic organizations and businesses, and creating win-win partnerships. I’m comfortable and energized by speaking in front of an audience, and am particularly interested in exercise for healthy aging, women’s health, bone health, and promoting active lifestyles. As a clinical exercise physiologist, I’ve developed and delivered engaging health, wellness, and injury prevention education programs and materials. I’m a doer and a program starter!Core Competencies:• Sports Medicine and Preventive Health• Writing/Editing: Patient Education• Program Innovation• Project and Contract Management • Marketing and Partnerships• Public Speaking• Writing
