Hello!
I started teaching in the Exercise Science Department in 2019. I'm originally from the Midwest (Rockford, IL) and immediately fell in love with the Pacific Northwest upon moving here to teach. I've been a runner since high school and enjoy the outdoors. I love hiking with my family and competing in sprint triathlons (swim, bike, run)!
Feel free to reach out (kcoffman@pugetsound.edu) if you want to chat about potential opportunities in the lab!
