I’m a proud mother of two amazing boys, Jax and Ethan, who inspire me every day. With a doctorate in sport and exercise psychology and over a decade of experience as a psychology professor, I’ve dedicated my career to understanding the mind and helping others thrive. My passion for psychology, combined with a deep love for working with children, led me to create SportSmart—a platform designed to empower young athletes and foster their mental and emotional growth.
