Research Interests
My research focuses on studying the impacts of horse experiences on youth development in terms of leadership, emotional intelligence, and social skills.
​
I am interested in examining the impact that horse-human bonds have on skills like self-awareness, ethics, confidence, and ability to build trust. I am also interested in examining the experiential learning opportunities horses provide and developing how they can be applied.
