In addition to my work on student-athletes, I am researching hiring practices for NBA coaches with some colleagues, and I also research the social causes of mass shootings with a colleague. In addition to being a doctoral candidate at UCR, I am a lecturer at Cal State University - Los Angeles, and have taught student athletes at both schools as well as at another university. I am an avid sports fan and care a great deal about teaching, and wanted to understand why some students struggle in order to help remove or mitigate obstacles in their way of classroom success. I am broadly interested in sociology of sport, higher education, criminology, deviance, and culture.
