Katherine’s thesis research, “Understanding Parent and Child Perceptions of Barriers and Enablers Influencing Active School Travel” sparked her initial interest in public health, health promotion, and physical activity and helped to prepare her for this current position. Way to go Katherine, we are so proud of you back at the HEAL!
