Rebecca became passionate about accessibility and inclusion in graduate school at Texas Woman’s University when a professor gave her the opportunity to work as an activity specialist for various adapted recreational sports programs including Project INVEST (Injured Veterans Entering Sports Training) and AWAVE (Adapted Water Activity Venues for Everyone). Rebecca is excited to use her expertise in health and exercise research to promote access and inclusion of people with disabilities in all areas of science and research.
