Testimonial:

"I started my relationship with Mt. Hood first as a student-athlete. After completing my athletic eligibility, I became an assistant coach for the college which eventually led to becoming a head coach and part-time faculty. Now, as a full-time faculty, I am excited about providing the Fitness Technology Certificate program. "
