Education:
I began my college career at Iowa State University
in the field of forestry. That lasted a semester,
then I transferred to UNI. Seven undergraduate
majors later, I graduated from UNI with a BA
in Economics in 1981. I received my paramedic
license in 1982, and worked as a paramedic for
several years, before going back to graduate
school. I received my MA from UNI in 1987 in
Cardiac Rehabilitation, and my Ph.D. in Epidemiology
from The University of Iowa in 1990. |

molecular markers for aggressiveness in breast
cancer, and quality of life issues for bladder
cancer survivors. |
