Faculty of Education

Geri is a Ph.D. student in the Psychology of Exercise, Health, and Physical Activity (PEHPA) Laboratory. She completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Victoria, and then moved to UBC and completed her Master's in the PEHPA lab. Geri's research interests primarily involve developing and evaluating cost- and time-effective intervention strategies to promote physical activity. Specifically, she is interested in the dynamic role affect, and affect-related constructs, play in the unfolding of physical activity behaviour change. In her free time, Geri can usually be found ‘practicing what she preaches’ either on her yoga mat unwinding or outside exploring all that the amazing West Coast has to offer. She also enjoys getting stuck into a good book and checking countries off her Bucket List.
