Biography
I received a BS in Psychology and MS in Health Education and Behavior, both from the University of Florida. I have worked in the public health/health education field for 20 years in domestic and international roles.
Teaching Interests
In my current position with the HEART Initiative, I focus on the role healthy eating, physical activity, resiliency skills, and other healthy behaviors play in decreasing injury and chronic pain, and how developing and utilizing those skills can be essential in substance use recovery. Other related areas of interest are workplace injury prevention, chronic pain prevention and management, stigma reduction, and youth and adult workforce resilience building.
