Bio

Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to participate in sport, not only as an athlete, but also as a coach. Growing up, it was common to see me participating in sports, from hockey and baseball, to football, tennis, and basketball. Consequently, I associate sports with my personal identity and place value in the good that athletics provide, including mental well-being. Ultimately, my goal is to merge my two passions, sports and psychology. That is why I wanted to join the SPPARC lab, as it gave me the opportunity to advance the research literature in sport psychology and pursue a career in this area.
