As a former Canadian national team athlete and varsity athlete, sport has always been a central part of my life. This passion led me to pursue a degree in kinesiology, where I was first exposed to research in the field. Toward the end of my national team career, I developed a deep interest in psychological performance, recognizing the lack of sport psychology support throughout my athletic journey. My research interests blend the sport psychology knowledge I lacked as an athlete with my experiences as a nationally certified sport official and a desire to support this often-overlooked group in sport. Sport officials play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of competition and shaping the sporting experience. My work aims to better understand the psychological demands and experiences of sport officials and explore ways to support their performance, mental health, and well-being, ultimately contributing to a stronger sporting culture in Canada. I am excited and grateful to continue my academic journey in the SPPARC lab at the University of Windsor, where I hope to contribute to a sporting environment in which officials are better understood, valued, and supported.
