I began my role as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology after gaining experience as an Assistant Professor at Penn State University and as a postdoctoral fellow at Queen’s University.

With training focused on social influences in physical activity contexts, my passion for applying psychological principles into real-life settings has led me to explore all sorts of interesting group environments. While I do engage in some fun studies have basic science at their core, I am most driven by applied research projects that are driven by those being studied; whereby the skillset of my team connects with the needs of key individuals or organizations.
