The majority of my serice has been related to professional service in disseminating my research to both academic and community audiences, and partnering with professional organizations to lead webinars. These activities are organized by the following categories: sport and physical activity (with implications for health), health equity and racial health disparities, and community-engagement and university-community partnerships, but again, these categories have significant overlap.
In partnership with CJJA, I conducted a national webinar "Mapping Sport in Juvenile Facilities: Survey Findings and Implications" where I shared findings from my dissertation and discussed implications for practice with leaders of state juvenile justice divisions.
