Biography:

Dr. Singe is an Associate Professor, and core faculty member of the CAATE accredited athletic training program at the University of Connecticut. Over the last 15 years she has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles on subjects related to work-life balance, professional commitment and retention, and professional socialization. Her work has focused on determining factors that contribute to work-life conflict for the athletic trainer working in a variety of settings as well as strategies that can minimize the negative impact of those conflicts. Dr. Singe’s research efforts have also included gaining an appreciation of the complex and dynamic process on how an athletic trainer gains understanding of their varied roles within the profession as a means to facilitate improved role inductance and continuance.

She is the lead author on the NATA’s position statement on work-life balance in athletic training, which is currently being written for publication. She is a section editor for the Journal of Athletic Training, serves on the NATAREF scholarship committee, and NATAREF free communication committee. She recently joined the NATA’s research mentor program to help coordinate the program and facilitate mentor-mentee relationships.

Dr. Singe earned her bachelor’s degree in athletic training from the University of Connecticut, in 2000; her master’s degree in athletic training from the Old Dominion University in 2002; and her doctorate in kinesiology and sports management from the University of Connecticut in 2005.
