Assistant Professor
Stephanie is new this year to the department of health and exercise science. She is honored and excited to be back on campus after graduating from Gustavus in 2000. Her research interests include physical activity and bone mineral density. She conducted her thesis on the relationship between bone mineral density and physical activity among women taking Depo-Provera. She was fortunate enough to be able to work with a Middle Tennessee high school for her dissertation which involved investigating the relationships between physical activity and body composition, blood pressure, and bone mineral density among a group of 9-12 grade students. She is looking forward to becoming involved in student research here at Gustavus. Stephanie is a proud mother of two and is excited to get her family involved in the Gustavus community.
