  1. How to write a research paper

  2. How to present a research paper

  3. How to review a research paper

  4. Negotiating your first academic job

  5. Raising children

Cycling
I’m an avid cyclist and enjoy training, racing, and group rides. I am a member of Vision Quest Coaching. My coach is John Hughes, who is an amazing Pro/Cat 1/2 racer! I own 8 bikes: 4 road bikes, a tandem, mountain bike, cross bike and a time trial bike. My favorite road bike is my Orbea Orca. The bike I love the most is my Trek TTX time trial bike that was ridden by Steve Cummings on the Discovery Team in 2007.

I do group rides with FOG Cycling in Winnetka and with Vision Quest. I’m a climber (not a sprinter!). My favorite ride of all time is the climb up Mt. Haleakala in Maui. The climb I do most often is Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles, Washington.

I started racing in the spring of 2007; I love doing time trials, such as the Double Bong in Wisconsin and the ABR 4 Person Time Trial World Championship. (Here are my race results).
My favorite organized rides are: Horribly Hilly Hundreds and RAMROD (Ride Around Mount Rainier in One Day). (Here is a list of some of my favorite rides)
