Biography
I completed my graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy from Purdue University. My research focuses on how physical health, well-being, and activation impact individuals, caregivers, and subsystems within and outside of the family system. My current work also includes the examination of best educational practices and pedagogical approaches to undergraduate teaching and learning.
