Notes
I currently teach for two departments at American River College: Gerontology and Physical Education. For the past twenty-five years I have been certified as an older adult fitness professional and have been a Fitness and Wellness Program Director at a large retirement community for the past eleven years. I received my Masters in Exercise Physiology with emphasis in aging from California State University, Sacramento and have held certifications as a personal trainer, water aerobics instructor, group exercise leader, and long term care exercise leader. I have provided health education lectures regarding older adult concerns for the government, teaching institutions and private agencies. In addition to teaching "Wellness For Older Adults" online, it has been presented in the classroom at American River College for the past three years. I also teach Exercise Physiology and the Special Population course in the Fitness Certificate Program for the Physical Education Department at American River College. My personal interests are my loving husband, my children and grandchildren, my mother, my almost 19 year old cocker spaniel Rusty, playing my violin, gardening and working out. I believe that you must make the time to take care of yourself if you are going to help others improve the quality of their lives.
