Being involved with professional groups, attending and presenting at conferences and networking with different research groups, manufacturers and game companies is crucial to my career path and it is something I take seriously.
I believe it's important to be professionally accessible and I do so by being involved in many groups. I organized the
3rd Annual ExerGame Workshop at 2010 AAHPERD for AAPAR (on top of being AAPAR's Exergaming
Brain Trust whose job it is to field media and information requests), organized an
ExerGame Expo here at SUNY Cortland which had executives from 3 different game companies;
co-chaired for the 2010
Games For Health Conference; and a reviewer for a
book, and
journal in the area of games. I have also been asked to speak at several international events including the
Game Developers Conference,
National Center for Technology Innovation,
Korean Serious Games Festival. and the
Health Promotion Conference. In recognition for my knowledge and expertise, I was recently appointed to the Board of Advisors of
Exergame Fitness, I'm a founding member of the
ExerGame Network (TEN), and I've been interviewed by the press on
radio (Into Tomorrow),
newspaper (USA Today),
online magazine (Chicago Tribune),
print magazine (Oprah), and
video.
As I continue on my journey to help our students "Guide and inspire youngsters in the process of becoming physically educated and healthy for a lifetime", I am inspired by our faculty and students’ passion to pursue those same goals.
