Community Outreach Interests
My interests lie in the area consumer behavior and tourism, specifically adventure and ecotourism. I have over 12 years experience of travel industry management which offers me valuable insight and an understanding of the importance of translating research into practical application for the tourism industry. I have worked with organizations such as the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA), Sustainable Travel International (STI), and Conservation International conducting research of both the supply-side (providers of tourism goods and services) and demand side (consumers/travelers) of the tourism industry. As a long time participant and advocate of adventure and ecotourism, I believe these types of travel experiences promote cultural understanding, fulfill personal dreams, and encourage environmental sustainability.
