She is primarily a qualitative participatory researcher with a keen interest in researching children and young people’s understanding of physical activity and wellbeing.  

Her doctoral study working with nine 7 to 11 years co-researchers, revealed new insights into sources of fun and enjoyment in physical activity and a model for understandings children and young people’s diverse motivations for being active on a continuum from playfulness to mastery.
