Outside of the university
When I’m not teaching or working in the Advanced Communication program here at ISU, I’m either watching my kids play soccer (my son plays number 9 or 10; my daughter plays number 4 or 6) or riding dressage. Right now, I’m training a rescue pony named Little Einstein the dressage basics and he’s teaching me patience.
