Patricia
“Chris” Miles, RN CNOR – Lead Instructor
I am 53 yrs young and as some would say a
“Probie” or “New Kid” as I came late
to riding. As an RN for 29 years working in ICU, ER, &
Operating Rooms around California &Washington, motorcyclists
were known as ‘Donor cycles”. So it was with much
trepidation I made the decision to learn to ride when I relocated
to an area that made it a financial benefit. I failed my first
MSF class (from fear) but had a motorcycle waiting for me
in my garage (my Baby Girl an’06 Heritage Softail).
Needless to say a learner’s permit, 5 hour riding class,
and another skill test later I was an official licensed motorcyclists!
And I haven’t looked back! My only regret is that in
starting so late I have missed tons of riding opportunities.
I now have 3 yrs & change of riding under my belt (61,000
mi) and look forward to riding everyday. I am taking a more
active role by membership in American Motorcycling Assoc.,
my National HOG org. as well as my local HOG & LOH chapter’s
(Puget Sound). I am also renewing my ACLS certification. I
have spent 15+ years as a preceptor teaching students how
to function and think in critical settings. I was introduced
to ASMI @ the Women’s Conference in Keystone, CO. summer
2009 (absolutely awe inspiring) I was excited to learn how
to incorporate this teaching skill into my Love of Riding.
One of my sayings is: Knowledge is a free gift and we can
never receive enough gifts. So Take it and Ruuun with it !!!
For a Class in the NorthWest Region,
Contact Chris @ ScootRider_1@Pugetonline.com

Darleen Cherry – Assistant InstructorHi, I'm Darleen Cherry from San Antonio, Texas. I was first introduced to the joy of riding motorcycles in 1981 at the age of 33. I was taught how to ride at a motorcycle rally on a Kawasaki 1300. (My husband had to ride in the passenger seat because I couldn't reach the ground when I came to a stop.) After that weekend, I was hooked. By the following Friday, I had obtained my motorcycle endorsement, bought a slightly modified Honda 250 and made my first solo run from Lake Charles, LA. to San Antonio, TX. I joined the Sandy Oaks Volunteer Fire Department in 1997. In April 2000, I obtained my pre-hospital trauma medical certification (ECA) from the Texas Department of State Health Services. I served my community in South Bexar County as both a volunteer firefighter and medic until retirement in February 2009. I am a member of the Southern Cruisers' Riding Club and TMRA. I currently ride a Yamaha 650 V-Star.

Beth
Evans NR-CCEMT-P
- Lead Instructor
I have been a Nurse for 35 years and a Nurse Practitioner
for 20. I started riding motorcycles when I was on call
on an emergency transport for newborns. It was a faster
way to get to the hospital than my usual 10 speed. So I’ve
been riding 34 years off and on as time and circumstances
allowed. I have worked in most areas of nursing, including
Neonatal Intensive Care, Coronary Care, Oncology, and Outpatient
cardiac rehab. As a primary care provider I worked in rural
clinics with all age groups. I have also worked with adult
and pediatric sexual assault. I have taught CPR for both
the Red Cross and American Heart Association and First Aid
as well in the past. I live on and ride The Dragon. Accidents
happen almost daily during the season up here and it can
take an hour or more to get an ambulance. Having people
trained to give emergency aid is critical to outcomes on
these roads as there is no cell or radio service in many
areas.

Gerald
Hensley, OD, MPH, PhD, DSP –
Lead Instructor
Patricia
Hensley, MS, EdS, DSP – Assistant Instructor
My motorcycling activity began in 1958 with
daily riding of a German Zundapp racing bike which progressed
to a BSA Lightning and then to a HD Sportster by the early
1960s. Riding became less frequent during my college years,
and I sold my bike before I graduated in 1969 with my professional
clinical doctorate followed by a residency in pediatric
vision care. Time became even more restricted in the early
1970s while I helped to establish a large comprehensive
health center in the Midwest at which I eventually became
the Assistant Director of Health Services in addition to
providing clinical patient care. During this time period,
however, I learned to fly and bought an airplane which I
soon learned was far more costly than any motorcycle. Careers evolve, and my aviation interest
led me to join the Air Force in 1976. I was commissioned
in the medical service, and, before I knew it, I was back
in school pursuing post-doctoral graduate degrees in both
health/hospital administration as well as epidemiology.
Later, I completed another academic doctorate concentrating
in vision research. Before I retired from the Air Force
in 2002, I had functioned in a number of areas including:
a deputy clinic commander; coordinator of trauma care exercises;
epidemiological investigator for accidents/health care ;
researcher in pilot vision; and, of course, provider of
clinical services. I would visit various motorcycle dealerships
for “demo” rides during this time, but I did
not own a bike. Motorcycling is considered one of the most
unsafe due to a lack of visibility by other vehicles. In
order to help minimize this situation, we ordered our new
HD 1200 Sportster Roadster in bright “Yellow Pearl”.
Matching colored bags and side panels over the battery/oil
reservoir were also ordered. In addition, a “gradient
yellow” windshield, two additional flashing headlights
and an air horn were added. We also wear matching yellow
full-face helmets and yellow leather jackets. We definitely
want to be “seen and heard”.It is our feeling
that both flying and motorcycling are similar: both demand
specialized training and an acknowledged responsibility
by the pilot/rider in order to fully realize the freedom
which both enable the participant to enjoy. The ASMI program
offers unique information which allows the rider to not
only be better responsible for him/herself, but, more importantly,
may contribute to the increased welfare of his/her fellow
riders and the general motorcycling community.

Randy
Greene, EMT
- Lead Instructor Randy’s
passion for riding began at an early age with the acquisition
of a driver’s license and a road bike at the age of
16. The early years included many varieties including
Honda, Norton, Harley and Indian. But those years
were void of any formal rider safety training. Marriage
and a family brought about a brief hiatus, but the riding
urge never went away. When the youngest child began
driving, that urge again surfaced and he bought another
road bike. His credits now include being the post
director and assistant director of his local HOG chapter,
lead road captain and chairman of various committees.
After receiving training in both the basic and experienced
MSF rider safety courses, he realized that first aid training
was also crucial. ASMI’s basic and advanced
Bystanders Assistant Program provides that knowledge and
now with an EMT certification and Instructor training, he
looks forward to bringing this knowledge to other riders.

I have lived in Concord, NC for 13 yrs. I have been a nurse
since 1979, mostly in Med/Surg, then more recently in Post
Anesthesia Care. Three years after taking the basic and
advanced, I decided that since our one and only NC lead
instructor moved away, I would become an instructor! This
Bystander Assistance information just had to continue to
be offered to NC bikers! Because I also Kayak, and this
information is good for that activity as well. I am also
an American Red Cross CPR/Firstaid/AED instructor.
I have been riding since 2002 and now own a Yamaha 1100
Silverado. I have ridden the eastern seaboard from the Keys,

John
Colandrea,
Paramedic
-Lead Instructor
Having
been around the fire service since his dad was a fire chief
and EMT back in the 70’s John learned early on the
importance of “Knowing what to do”. Having
been an EMT and Paramedic since the early 90’s, most
of what he has encountered was completely preventable.
He became a motorcycling instructor to help put himself
out of business as a paramedic. His ultimate goal
is for you to NEVER use the first aid skills or collision
avoidance techniques he teaches, but statistics show that
this is not reality. Therefore, we must all become
part of the solution. TRAINING is the BEST accessory
you can buy for your bike and your life! John
and his mother operate Capital Area Motorcycling School,
Inc. in Troy, NY which trains nearly 1300 students each
year in basic, intermediate and advanced riding. He
is an MSF RiderCoach and ScooterCoach, Total Control ARC
instructor, EVOC instructor and USCA Curling Instructor.
Besides his family, his vices are trackdays and curling.

Rob Burghoff – Assistant Instructor
I’m in the health technology field in service support of digital imaging systems for radiology for 26 years. I’ve been back to riding since 2004 when I picked up my first Harley Road King Classic. I joined the Seacoast HOG chapter in North Hampton, NH right away and took advantage of the many safety courses that they encourage riders to take. This included first aid/ CPR, ERC and of course both basic and advanced ASMI. In 2006 I upgraded to an Electraglide Classic for my first cross country trip from California to New Hampshire. Earlier this year, I happened to put this course to practical application being the first upon an accident scene with head trauma. The more riders that we can get trained the more riders’ lives that can be saved. To arrange for a class, contact me at: r.burghoff@comcast.net |

Jason Smith – Assistant Instructor
Have been riding for years and currently enjoy riding my ‘ 07 VStar 1300T with the Southern Cruisers (Merrimack Valley Chapter, MA) as their tail gunner. This role introduced me to the responsibility of carrying a first Aid Kit and Toolkit. First Aid kit??? The next thing I did was seek some more formal training than the standard buddy care course. Someone in the club introduced me to Gail Riley and an upcoming ASMI course. I loved it!!!. Next year I went for the advanced course and realized that I could give a little back, so the assistant instructor role appealed to me. The additional training and awareness of motorcycle-specific steps needed to successfully process an accident scene and render assistance has really meant a lot. I’ve served 20 years in the United States Air Force and bring a very strong logistics and planning background to this role. I’m also an IBA member and enjoy long distance endurance riding.
I can be reached at smithjason@yahoo.com or leave me a message at 781-328-4974 |

Check out what Cycle Connections has to say about Virginia and Steve Phillips class:
Cycle Connections Article |
Steve
Phillips - Assistant Instructor
Steve
has always liked motorcycles. Starting when he was 14 he
begged his two friends to let him ride their Honda 70’s.
When he was 17 years old he bought his first street bike,
a Honda 750 SS, black, beautiful, and fast. After some riding
around town, scaring himself a few times, collecting invites
to the policemen’s ball and a few scoldings, he crashed
that Honda but was fortunate enough to not be seriously
injured. After thinking about what one of the officers has
told him, he sold the Honda and bought a new Harley Super-glide
in 1978. “This bike is made just for me” Steve
said. “It was low and slow, like I should be riding”.
“Riding this bike for ten years, before trading it
for a son and daughter to parent, was what I thought riding
was.” When Steve returned to riding, he took a MSF
riding course and realized just how much he did not know
about riding a motorcycle. He later attended an experienced
course and practiced and realized that even though he had
many years and miles behind him, he was just now really
riding a motorcycle. Touring the back roads of the USA and
Canada is where he likes to ride. In 1997 Steve completed
pilot training and a successful check-ride to become a private
pilot. From that experience he learned how to learn, train
and practice techniques, and that safety is a strategy,
not an accident. Steve was asked to become an instructor
and in 2001 completed the training to be a MSF instructor
for the Missouri Motorcycle Safety Program. “I practice
what I preach, or the instructor lacks integrity”
says Steve. “I just love the look on student’s
faces when something clicks within them and they feel a
technique work”. This is why he continues teaching
many classes each year. Steve has been involved in his local
H.O.G. Chapter for 10 years and has served as Safety Officer,
Director, Assistant Director, and Road Captain. Also interested
in his right to ride he belongs to A.M.A. and Freedom of
Road Riders.“A
full life is a continuous learning experience. I wish to
assist my lovely bride Virginia presenting the information
to the people that want to learn. If someone has this knowledge
at the right time at the right place it may allow a potentially
tragic situation to have a positive outcome. Someone is
going to be lucky. I believe that the more you know, the
better it gets”.

Virginia
Phillips, RN – Lead Instructor
Virginia
has been around motorcycles most of her life beginning with
her handsome husband of 30 years riding a Honda 750
starting before they were married. Besides riding with Steve
for many years she also had experiences riding her own dirt
bike. After raising two children, a Physicist and future
Pharmacist, Virginia became a nurse in 1997. She has worked
in hospitals as LPN and later became an RN. She mostly enjoys
home health care for elderly and pediatric patients. For
ten years she has volunteered with the American Red Cross
regularly. She became bored riding behind Steve on their
Electra-glide so in 2001 she brought home her own Heritage
Classic that she has customized just for her. Its name is
White Shadow. Early riding began by taking a MSF Basic course
and practicing around town. Then the advanced course, “what
a confidence builder”. Practice and confidence has
led to several touring rides through many states and memorable
adventures. Virginia belongs to H.O.G. and has served as
the Ladies of Harley officer in her local chapter. Since
2000 she also operates her leather sewing business, Grace
Specialties Inc., and uses her creative talents to embellish,
repair and manufacture leather garments for bikers. “I
agree that the need to present Accident Scene Management
training is more urgent now than ever. The average age of
the motorcyclist is rising. The injury and fatality rate
among motorcyclist is increasing. Public awareness of motorcycling
is increasing as well. We are willing to travel to train
people to help each other. People usually don’t care
what you know until they know that you care, and we both
care about people”.

Debbie
Parinello, EMT - Lead Instructor
I was introduced to motorcycles by my father at 3 years
old, I have loved them ever since. When he would take me
to school on his motorcycle I was always saying, "DADDY
GO FASTER", this lasted my entire life.
Over 20 years ago my husband, and best friend bought my
first bike, a Honda 250. He is an awesome teacher. In no
time I needed a bigger bike, I told him I was tired of shifting
2 to his 1 to keep up on my little bike.
In 1996 he asked what I wanted for Christmas, I thought
about it for 2 seconds and replied,"Road Race Lessons".
I had to wait till July for my present, but it was well
worth the wait. One week after class we were on our way
to Chicago to buy my first race bike. I raced for three
years, and became the first woman expert road racer in Michigan.
It was the experience of a lifetime. My husband was my wrench,
he always taught me that the most important things were
to ride safe, and finish the race. I did have my share of
spills though. There is a saying amongst racers, "If
your not crashing you are not racing". I must have
been racing. During the 3 years of making the circuit with
the Great Lakes Road Racing Association, I managed to cover
8,000 miles while negotiating 65,000 turns at an average
speed of 75 mph. I missed judged 8 turns, which resulted
in 4 concussions, turning my spine backwards, breaking one
finger, one foot and a finger nail.
After our 4 kids grew up and left the nest, we decided it
was time to take our life long trip. This was to ride our
bikes cross-country. We bought are cruisers and off we went.
It was an incredible adventure; we still have 3 states left
to see.
I belong to the Women on Wheels Free Spirit Chapter of Michigan.
I was introduced Bystander Assistance at a seminar given
by my fellow members and friends Tammie and Ann, who are
also Instructors here in Michigan. I was so impressed with
the information that was being given, I decided to become
and EMT and take the instructor training as well, so I could
help get this most valuable information out to more bikers.
During our trip there were areas that we didn't see a car
on the road for 2 or more hours, what would we have done?
Cell phone service, forget it. This is the reason I am so
excited to have the opportunity to help make a difference.
I can be contacted by calling 313-702-4116 or e mail Ms38cal@hotmail.com.

pilot. From that experience he learned how to learn, train
and practice techniques, and that safety is a strategy,
not an accident. Steve was asked to become an instructor
and in 2001 completed the training to be a MSF instructor
for the Missouri Motorcycle Safety Program. “I practice
what I preach, or the instructor lacks integrity”
says Steve. “I just love the look on student’s
faces when something clicks within them and they feel a
technique work”. This is why he continues teaching
many classes each year. Steve has been involved in his local
H.O.G. Chapter for 10 years and has served as Safety Officer,
Director, Assistant Director, and Road Captain. Also interested
in his right to ride he belongs to A.M.A. and Freedom of
Road Riders.“A
full life is a continuous learning experience. I wish to
assist my lovely bride Virginia presenting the information
to the people that want to learn. If someone has this knowledge
at the right time at the right place it may allow a potentially
tragic situation to have a positive outcome. Someone is
going to be lucky. I believe that the more you know, the
better it gets”.

Jean
Herndon, NREMT-I - Lead Instructor
Phil
Herndon -Assistant Instructor
Phil got hooked on Harley Davidson motorcycles when Jean
“talked him into” checking out the new bikes
while they were volunteering for a MDA benefit during the
H-D Centennial Open Road Tour. Soon after they
purchased a 2003 Road King Classic, Phil completed the MSF
Program. Phil is a Metrics Analyst at AT&T.
Jean
has had her motorcycle endorsement since Maryland first
required separate licensing. During a short grandfather”
window, the written test was waived for experienced riders
but the road test was required. In this case, that
only meant Jean had to drive around a 2-block square on
her Triumph 650cc - all left turns - in Silver Spring, MD,
. . . in s n o w. Meanwhile,
the examiner returned to the DMV building saying something
like, "If you get back here in one piece, you'll pass.”
Jean is retired from AT&T after 20 years in data processing.
She earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor
in Education, serving her senior internship as an Ensign
with the U.S. Pubic Health Service TB Unit Training Department.
Her career has spanned a wide range of professions, from
Social Worker to Business School Instructor and, later,
from Data Processing Technical Writer/Editor to Computer
Technician.Jean been a First Aid and Medical Emergency Response
Team volunteer for over 25 years; she is an ASHI-Certified
CPR/AED Instructor and a member of the North Georgia Medical
Reserve Corps. Both Phil and Jean serve as members
of their local Community Emergency Response Team in Cherokee
County. They took the Basic and Advanced ASMI courses
in 2004 and thought the message was so compelling that they
have been helping Virginia Oakes as Course Assistants whenever
possible.Jean is currently in school getting her EMT license
so she can become a Lead ASMI instructor. To set up a class

David P. Cruz NREMTI/FF - Lead instructor
I hail originally from NY, Long Island to be specific. I got my M/C license and my first bike at 17 years old (1973). Three years prior to that I started volunteering at Nassau County Medical Center in the Emergency Room, as an Explorer Scout. Our adviser was the administrator of the hospital, which gave us special privileges. It was fantastic. I logged 2400 hrs. before I graduated HS. I got myself to and from the Hospital with a Jawa Moped. You could ride a vehicle that didn't go more that 25mph legally without a license. You had to be at least 18 to become an EMT, but I was already on the Wantagh-Levittown Volunteer Ambulance Corps. In 1975 I became an EMTI at South Nassau Community Hospital in Oceanside, NY which is what I still practice. I added NY Firefighter to my skills, have been an instructor for CPR, First Aid and an EMT evaluator for almost as long. I have also been an evaluator at SOLO, a wilderness EMT training facility in NH. I have owned many bikes but currently ride a K1200LT BMW. Four years ago I became an MSF instructor, and have taught in NH, NYC, and MA. I believe very strongly in the ASMI program and feel honored to now be an Instructor. Ten years ago I was in a Severe Multi-Trauma Motorcycle accident and had it not been for the trained people who responded quickly, I would not be here. I believe that the more people who are trained the more people who can survive, not only for the Quantity of life, but the Quality of life. If we can make a difference I want to be a part of that.

I have
been an avid motorcyclist for many years, riding everything
from dirt bikes to dual sports to street bikes. I started
working at a motorcycle dealership after high school and
was informed that if I were to work there I would need to
learn how to ride. That was all that it took. The bug bit
me. When I was away at college I took the MSF course in
Atlanta and have been striving every day to better my skills.
I ride every day that I can, even commuting back and forth
to my day job. I work as a Mechanical design engineer during
the day for the Ultrasonic cleaning division a large corporation.
During evenings and weekends I am a lieutenant for my volunteer
EMS service in Monroe CT. I have been and EMT since 2000,
and have been involved with my EMS service in the form of
a driver, MRT, EMT, and driver trainer since 1993.

as a few other rider coaches, we all ride on the T3RG drill
team.
My
son had a MC accident a few years ago, and thanks to the
cool headed thinking of his fellow riders he is here with
me today and has had a full recovery. Tucker’s
future could have been very different if the scene of his
accident had been handled poorly. He suffered both
cervical and thoracic fractures and is now a walking, talking
advertisement for motorcycle safety.
Motorcycle safety
and Accident Scene Management are very important for any
motorcyclist. I am currently going to school to get
my EMT license! Let’s all stay safe and alive to ride
another day.

Scene Management courses about four years ago. He
decided that with the excellent focused end user training
offered by Accident scene Management, Inc. (ASMI) towards

safer for all, that he would get his Emergency Medical Technician

Terry
Howard
– Assistant Instructor
I
am currently the State Coordinator for ABATE of Colorado,
beginning my 3rd term. I have been riding since 1997
and have been involved in Motorcycle Rights for 9 years.
I am originally from New Jersey and made Colorado my home
in 1974. I am divorced with 4 legged furry critters for
kids. I have worked in Business Management the
majority of my adult life. I am also fortunate enough
to be employed by ABATE of Colorado as the State Manager.
ABATE decided to extend our offerings to the motorcycling
community by training instructors for the ASMI class.
I believe this falls in line with our mission statement
and provides evidence that motorcyclists do accept responsibility
for ourselves.

Eric
Sondeen, Paramedic Lieutenant
– Lead Instructor
The
best 911 response is the one that never happens because
you prevent the incident from occurring!
That I’ve been a medic for 30+ years means nothing
to you if YOU are the only motorcyclist on the scene of
an accident. YOU are clearly the “best one”
in this circumstance to make a difference. It is my
passion to equip and train fellow motorcyclists with the
capability to reduce additional injuries and maximize great
outcomes should one of us “come off the bike”.
I’ve been with Littleton Fire Rescue as a career fire
paramedic since 1981 following work with the US Forest Service
and county-wide ambulance service at Aspen Valley Hospital.
I live in Boulder where I am currently the “guardian”
(we don’t call ourselves owners—it’s inhumane)
of a 2008 H-D Firefighter Ultra and a 2002 HD/California
Sidecar rig. I am the AMA risk management rep for
our Chartered “Wind & Fire MC” fire Club
and Safety Officer for my HOG group.
After 80,000 safe miles of smiles I found myself admiring
the sparks from my bike’s engine guard as it slid
next to me on the highway September 2006. “D-O-W-N”
can happen. Be prepared and make a difference. Set
up yourself and your riding group with excellent training
through Accident Scene Management.

the Leader of my daughter’s Brownie Troop! I’m
married to George who’s a Certified RiderCoach for
the CMSP and have 2 grown children, 4 dogs, 2 cats, and
2 fish. Our
son Andrew was in a bike accident in November 2002…18
days in a coma, broken femur and wrist, brain stem injuries
– lucky for us that the accident was right in front
of our local hospital and EMT’s were on the scene
within minutes. If the accident had happened anywhere else,
with no one nearby trained to help, we know we would have
lost him.George

in Indio, CA. I am a member of
the AMA, Sustaining Member of the MRF & Lifetime HOG
member. We’ve brought the ASMI classes to our

Alan Gibson
- Assistant Instructor
Hi loving life by riding and I enjoy riding with many organizations,
disorganizations, and solo. In late 2007, as a Rider Educator
working on a GWTA newsletter article, I realized the need
for First Response & trained Bystanders, “specifically
trained motorcyclists, for motorcyclists” as reported
by NTSHA, DOT, and NAMS. Through some Internet searches, found
ASMI, looked at their offerings and took the Basic class at
the next opportunity. During that class I realized that I
had to become more involved in ASMI, and became an assistant
instructor. What a wonderful program ASMI has put together
in the Basic "Crash Course." Vital information in a well thought
out curriculum with enjoyable classes. I love to share my
passion for ASMI's classes and truly believe we make the whole
motorcycle community a little safer with each trained bystander.
Encourage everyone, rider, co-rider, family, and friends to
consider this trauma focused course. My passion is to make
the ASMI course fun with true meaning.

Rita L. Gibson, RN – Lead Instructor
Hello, my interest in riding began at 8 years old when the
wind first slapped my face and the rubber chewed the dirt!
Oh Baby, what a thrill! It was love on the first roll
out. My husband, Al, and I have been riding together
for more than 28 years. We are members of GWRRA, GWTA
and Patriot Guards. You'll find us participating in
numerous community and charity rides like Toys for Tots, House
of Ruth, Boys and Girls Club, Rolling Thunder and many more.
I began my health care education with CPR and First Aid certification
more than 25 years ago. Now I am a Registered Nurse
with Pediatric and Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification.
As a nurse working in a busy ER in Ventura County, I have
seen multiple motorcycle injuries. The severity of some
injuries may have been reduced or avoided if immediate trauma
care was activated on scene. Al, as a former Rider Educator
for GWTA, and I recognize the need for trauma awareness among
all riders and bystanders. Embracing the ASMI mission
statement to improve the outcome of motorcyclist injuries,
while maintaining the safety of everyone at the scene, ASMI
marries our wish to help educate fellow riders in motorcycle
specific trauma and bystander assistance.
I've lived in Southern California for more than 30 years.
I am proud to be among the first ASMI instructors in California.
Willing to travel anywhere a group wishes to learn what ASMI
has to offer. Willing to work with special needs riders.
Ask us about fund raising for your organization. We
look forward to working with you and your group.

Jean
Cooper, RN, MSN
– Lead Instructor I
have been riding motorcycles for about 37 years.
Since moving to Arizona in 1990, I’ve enjoyed the
year ‘round riding weather. I’ve been
a registered nurse for almost as long as I’ve been
riding. Most of my clinical experience has been
in Critical Care, including three years as nurse educator,
and more recently as program manager for women’s
health. I had the honor of serving on the Arizona
Governor’s Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council for
three years. While on the Council I attended a SMSA
conference in Texas went to an ASMI breakout session.
The information presented was extremely valuable.
So, I thought becoming an ASMI instructor seemed to be
the best way to combine all my experience and share what
I’ve learned with others to promote motorcycle safety.
I continue as a member of ABATE of Arizona since 1996,
having held almost every officer position at least once.
