Amazing Student: Avery Corneil
Drawn to the intersection of mental health and athletics, doctoral student Avery Corneil (Ph.D. ’27) is passionate about expanding access to mental health care and researching the experiences of women who hold leadership positions in the world of athletics.
“My dissertation research explores women’s leadership experiences in sport psychology; specifically, how their identities impact their experience, challenges they’ve navigated, and lessons learned to be resilient,” she said. “I am passionate about this because women face unique challenges in leadership positions and in the world of athletics. I believe women deserve to have their voices heard, and that we should better understand how to challenge systemic issues and support women in these environments.”
