Developing a New Course
My sabbatical research on distance/ultra-runners inspired the development of a first-year seminar on the psychology behind pursuing endurance events like ultra-marathons and competing in daring sports that push the limits of the human experience. I am also in the process of creating a course based on my training as a health coach, to introduce students to the field and how it can be used in different contexts (e.g., healthcare, corporate wellness, first responders, etc.).
Outside of the Classroom
I'm a certified health coach, personal trainer, and strength sport competitor (Strongman, Powerlifting). I also used to run ultra-marathons.
