I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the Physical Education program, including Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education, Personal Health and Wellness, Research Methods, Principles of Group Exercise, and Psychology of Exercise. I am a past-President and current Executive Board member of the Illinois Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. My current research involves cultural factors related to exercise habits in African American females, such as body ideals, ethnic identity, and media promotion, and how these factors relate to the pervasiveness of obesity in the African American community.
