Bio

As a former Canadian national team athlete and current 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 a desire to support a key actor in sport—sport officials. Often overlooked, sport officials play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of competition. My work aims to enhance their performance and experiences, 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, working to improve the experiences and performance of sport officials through my research.
