Research Interests: I am interested in identifying strategies to propose and implement health policies that can enhance youth sport safety for contact and collision sport athletes. I am also interested in developing effective methods for communicating research findings to the wider community, healthcare professionals, and government bodies, and working together to create evidence-based policy.
