Corey Crossan

Corey Crossan is a Research and Teaching Fellow at The Oxford Character Project, University of Oxford, where she develops and facilitates character development programs for students, industry, and university partners. Her research examines character development and its impact on performance and well-being. Dr. Crossan‘s undergraduate work in exercise science inspired her to apply exercise and habit development uniquely in her research, uncovering insights for establishing a daily practice of character development. Her love for elite performance intensified through years of competing at the highest levels of athletics, notably as an NCAA Division 1 athlete. Dr. Crossan transformed her comprehension of elite performance into a passion for helping individuals and organizations in cultivating sustained excellence. She is also cocreator of Virtuosity Character, a mobile app created to support the daily, deliberate practice of character-based leadership development. Dr. Crossan earned a PhD in kinesiology and leadership and a master of arts degree in kinesiology and psychology, both from Western University, Canada.
