My research revolves around implementing sustainable and educational after-school physical education programs in elementary and middle schools. These programs specialize in sports and fitness in under-served communities while reinforcing character development and academics. Additionally, I conduct research on the integration of academic subjects and technology into PE. This year, I am in Helsinki as a visiting professor conducting a Fulbright study on Harrastamisen Suomen Malli (HSM). I hope to understand more about youth experiences in the programs and what barriers to participation are present.
