Douglas College Faculty since 2007.
My scholarly and research interests coalesce around cultural processes influencing knowledge construction of physical activity, health, aging, and curriculum. I draw from critical and feminist perspectives in my approach to research and teaching.
Currently, I am involved in a couple of research projects. One is an exploration to better understand women’s health-related experiences with road cycling and the other is critical analysis of health-related knowledge produced through using wearable digital technologies.
My research and teaching are informed by my experience as an elementary school teacher and principal alongside studies, research and teaching in post-secondary settings across Canada and Internationally.
