Physical and Health Education





Education
PhD, Health Biosciences Brock University 2015
MSc, Kinesiology Brock University 2010
BKIH, Kinesiology with Honours Acadia University 2008




Areas of Specialization
    Cerebrovascular Physiology
    Thermal Physiology
    Neuromuscular Physiology





Research Interests

The aim of my research program is to understand the underlying mechanisms of fatigue. Specifically, my work examines the link changes in cerebral blood flow and indices of neuromuscular fatigue during environmental stress (such as hyperthermia and hypoxia).
