I am the founder and director of the Restorative Youth Sports lab at UNCG. Originally from western North Carolina, I was pleased to return to his home state in 2016. I identify as a community-engaged scholar and am passionate about equity, diversity and inclusion. In my academic role I teach courses related to youth development, multicultural education, and proposal writing. The Restorative Youth Sports lab encompasses my passion for advancing restorative justice practice and better understanding how this applies to physical education contexts. When not at work, I enjoy listening to a variety of podcasts and hiking in state parks and along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Please get in touch if you would like to connect with our work!
