I earned a doctoral degree in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in sport pedagogy and motor neuroscience, from the Texas A&M University and a master’s degree in the Department of Physical Education at Ewha Womans University. My graduate research focused on applying the 3×2 achievement goal model and self-determination theory to understand students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes in college physical activity classes. I have engaged in a number of research projects, including ones in the field of motor development and neuroscience.
