Publications
Cultivating my expertise and having influence in my field are important aspects to my position at UTC. The publications below demonstrate my ability to design, implement, and publish research in top journals in my field. Since 2012, I have continued to publish in peer-reviewed journals, but have also chosen to focus my efforts toward regional influence. This was the premise behind the development of the UTC Tourism Center and continual student-based research projects. These regional reports, while not peer reviewed, are conducted with the same rigor as published research. The data are suitable for publication, and may be published at a later date. However, their influence in the local region should be considered in the discussion of research impact (along with "h" and "i" scores). In addition, I value interdisciplinary collaboration and student mentoring. I have conducted research with members of every program in HHP (Except for AT), and have published and presented research that included students as co-researchers (* see asterisks below for student researchers and underlined names for non-SORT collaborators). While this necessarily impedes the speed of progress, it is rewarding for me and the students, and it fulfills my philosophy of teaching through experience. Finally, I provide leadership in research through peer reviews of various journal submissions and conference research sessions (see Other Service).
