Bio

My interests in sport and exercise psychology stem from my experiences as a varsity basketball player. Throughout my career, I sustained numerous severe injuries and was fascinated by the psychology of injury and rehabilitation.  Specifically, my research interests revolve around psychological responses to injury and rehabilitation, and how athletic therapists can use psychological skills training to help injured athletes. Additional research interests include the influence of exercise on university student mental health. From an applied perspective, I have experience as a mental performance coach at the university, college, and youth level. In my spare time, I enjoy coaching youth basketball, bird watching, and walking my dog.
