Biography
Hannah’s expertise and hence focus at UBC lies in teaching and educational leadership, specifically cultivating practical skill development for entry to industry. Her background consists of both exercise physiology and exercise psychology, in both research and applied settings. As such, Hannah takes a multidisciplinary approach to most areas in her professional life.
Hannah believes that one of the most fulfilling parts of being an educator in health and exercise science is seeing students grow personally and professionally throughout their time in academia. She strives to support students in any way she can to ensure they get the most out of their degrees and leave feeling confident about their place in the industry.
As a proponent of experiential learning, Hannah strives to create an active learning environment where students feel comfortable to expand their abilities, make mistakes, and investigate the relationship between theoretical concepts and applied skills. Specifically, Hannah aims to provide practicum and advanced practicum opportunities that will allow our students to enter the field as experienced and capable practitioners.

Research Interests & Projects
Hannah’s research predominantly investigated the effect of mental fatigue on a psychobiological performance of an exercise task, whilst controlling for certain personality traits. From a Scholarship of teaching and learning perspective, Hannah has also investigated educators perceptions of test anxiety among students. She is particularly interested in exploring different teaching strategies for practical skill development, i.e. flipped classroom design for an exercise physiology lab.
