ADMINISTRATION

Florida Atlantic University

Graduate Coordinator, Exercise Science & Health Promotion, August 2006 – Present

Responsibilities include recruiting graduate students and especially graduate assistants (GA's), processing applications, filing and following up on graduate student petitions, assigning and monitoring GA duties including teaching assignments and lab hours, coordinating with faculty in preparing and grading exit/comprehensive exams.

Director – Fitness Assessment Center (FAC), September, 1998 – July 2001

The FAC provides fitness testing primarily (but not exclusively) to the USM community at a reasonable cost. Tests include VO 2max , resting and exercise ECG, pulmonary function, body composition, cholesterol profile, muscle strength and endurance. Upon completion of testing, clients are given a detailed explanation of results and an exercise program is prescribed or revised. Responsibilities included supervision of graduate and undergraduate practicum students, scheduling, organization and supervision of testing, interpretation of results and client counseling.

University of Pittsburgh

Laboratory Coordinator - Human Energy Research Laboratory (HERL), August, 1994 – August, 1997

Responsible for the day-to-day operation of HERL. Maintained all laboratory equipment and supplies. Scheduled and supervised laboratory testing including laboratory classes, research, physiological assessment of athletes and paying clients. Repaired and returned to service a metabolic cart that had been out of service for several years. Acquired and rehabilitated a second metabolic cart at no cost to the University. Total value of metabolic carts: $80,000. Negotiated, secured and executed a contract with Regal Group Inc. for testing of exercise equipment. Value of contract: $4,000. Reported to Robert J. Robertson and Fredric L. Goss, HERL co-directors.

Coordinator - Pittsburgh Performance Profiles (PPP), University of Pittsburgh, September, 1994 – August, 1997

PPP makes physiological testing available to the community at a reasonable cost. Tests include VO 2max , lactate threshold, anaerobic power (Wingate), body composition (skinfolds or hydrostatic weighing), cholesterol profile, and nutritional assessment. Clients range from sedentary individuals to professional athletes. Upon completion of testing, clients are given a detailed explanation of results and an exercise program is prescribed or revised. Responsibilities included original development of program, ongoing publicity (i.e., coordination with print and TV media), scheduling, organization and execution of testing, interpretation of results and client counseling. Reported directly to Robert J. Robertson and Fredric L. Goss, HERL co-directors.

Coordinator - Undergraduate directed study/research, University of Pittsburgh, August, 1995 – August, 1997

Coordinated various research projects with undergraduate student schedules and experience to optimize research opportunities for students and laboratory assistance for investigators. Reported directly to Fredric L. Goss, Ph.D.

Exercise Leader - Pittsburgh Exercise Program, August, 1990 - December, 1990

Was responsible for Phase III cardiac rehabilitation program at the Jewish Community Center in Pittsburgh. Responsibilities included: patient screening and ongoing evaluation, designing and implementation of exercise programs, oversight of interns working directly with clients, communicating with physicians and other health professionals, maintenance of client records. Reported directly to Robert J. Robertson, program director.
