About
My research is at the intersection of two fields of study: kinesiology and human-animal interaction (HAI). My lab is dedicated to studying how companion animals affect human physical activity, mental health, and social connectedness, and developing ways to leverage the human-animal bond to promote physical activity and well-being.
