1. Roles and Mission
As an avid outdoor sports enthusiast, I have guided clients in the mountains and managed tourism companies around the world. Since 2012, I have been a professional coach, a corporate consultant, and an adjunct professor at the UFR STAPS. I am the program director for the Master’s in Sports Tourism Management.
2. Research Topics
I have been a member of the Santésih laboratory since 2012, and my research focuses specifically on the accessibility of outdoor sports activities for people with disabilities. As part of this work, I plan to begin a research-action thesis in 2024 on the benefits of outdoor recreational activities for people with disabilities.
