RESEARCH INTERESTS
My primary area of scholarship relates to the psychosocial factors influencing injury risk and recovery as well as interventions focused on improving rehabilitation outcomes in various groups. My second area of research focusses on the psychosocial factors influencing physical activity initiation and maintenance across the lifespan. I'm keen to further explore the value of community-based physical activity programs for promoting health and well-being in marginalized groups.
