I am really excited that you are here and wanting to learn about resistance training!

I founded the CRT program back in 2019, and since it's release, it's been helping dogs and their owners start their journey with resistance training and achieve both physical and mental well being.

My background is in adult critical care nursing and I am currently a Professor and Director of the Clinical Simulation Center at the University of New England in Portland Maine. Needless to say, I LOVE teaching and creating courses for all to learn.

I hope you find the courses engaging and fulfilling in your quest for more knowledge. Just know that I am here to support you in your journey and I look forward to working with you.
