Research Interests
I view my clinical work as a chance to connect with individuals and make a meaningful impact, while my research allows me to give back to the communities that have shaped me. Though I have contributed to many different projects, my work tends to connect at the intersections of disability sport culture, athlete mental health, and experiences of impairments—areas that have often been overlooked in academic research. I am passionate about exploring these topics and continuing to contribute to research that can inform, support, and amplify voices within these communities.
