Instructor: Allison Ford-Wade Welcome to HP/PH 191. My name is Allison Ford-Wade and I am a Professor in The Department of Health, Exercise Science and Recreation Management. I grew up in a small town--Smithville, MS. After high school, I played tennis at Itawamba Community College (Go Indians) and then played at the University of North Alabama (UNA) (Go Lions). I graduated in 1997 from UNA with a degree in Exercise Physiology, after a practical experience in cardiac rehabilitation during my last semester, I realized this wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. My childhood best friend was dying of cancer, so I decided to move closer to home to be with him so I enrolled in that other school.... Mississippi State University...and earned a master's degree in Health Promotion. I worked as a fitness instructor and health program planner for Coca-Cola Distributing in Starkville, as well as taught health classes (Go Dawgs). During my time at State, I realized I enjoyed teaching and in the Fall of 1998, I moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas and begin my doctoral work in Health Science. I completed this degree in the Summer of 2001 (Woo Pig Souie) and moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to begin my career at Florida Atlantic University (Go Owls). I moved back to Mississippi and to teach at Ole Miss in the Fall of 2004 (Hotty Toddy). I am married and have two wonderful boys. My husband is a graduate of Georgia (Go Dawgs), Auburn (Go Tigers), West Florida (I have no idea), Pittsburgh (Go Panthers), Mississippi State (I can't say Go Dawgs twice) and is now on faculty at Ole Miss. Please don't ever hesitate to email me (ford@olemiss.edu) or call me at 662-915-6770, however, I will respond to emails much faster than phone calls. Regards, Allison Ford-Wade |
