MPC Primary Research Areas
Research Interests
My strongest interests are in sport and physical activity, and how participation (or lack thereof) in each of these influences psychological and social wellbeing in childhood and adolescence. I am also interested in how inequities contribute to and result from disparities in sport and activity participation. I am working on a series of studies to track trends in sport participation among transgender and gender diverse youth in Minnesota, and I am an active member of the Minnesota Student Survey Working Group. I currently use inferential statistics, but I would be excited to collaborate and learn more about population studies approaches.
