Research Interests

My research interests focus on experiential learning techniques, specifically the use of service learning and community engagement in sport courses. My work explores the relationship between the community, the faculty, and the student, in an effort to maximize the use of these practices. Additionally, my work focuses on pedagogical concepts such as active learning and internships in an attempt to strengthen the use of these practices by sport management faculty.

In addition to research on teaching, my work explores youth sport programs, examining aspects such as gender in youth sport management and youth sport travel.
