Danielle Wigmore

Ph.D., University of Massachusetts Amherst (Exercise Science), 2006
M.S., University of Massachusetts Amherst (Exercise Science), 2003
B.S., Skidmore College (Physical Education), 1998

Dr. Wigmore’s research interests include understanding physical activity habits as well as motivators and obstacles to physical activity engagement. Her research has taken a community participatory approach to studying physical activity habits within a low-income, ethnically diverse community.
