About
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Teacher Education and Learning Sciences at Florida Gulf Coast University. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Math Education and a Master’s degree in Educational Technology.
My primary research interest explores embodied forms of teaching and learning in technology-rich settings. Inspired by theories of place and space, mobility, embodied cognition, and boundary objects, my research focuses on the practices athletes and coaches leverage to achieve performance goals. I’m drawn, in particular, to how coaches and trainers (teachers) use their bodies, in the moment, to collaborate with athletes (learners) and translate discrete information about their performance. In some of my recent work with golfers and golf coaches, my analysis focused on how data is “felt,” as instructors and students collaborated to interpret and negotiate data to support their practice.
I have also conducted and published research exploring video games, embodied forms of learning with VR, project-based learning, online learning, and game design.
