Research Interests:
My expertise is in the area of exercise physiology, particularly as it relates to neural adaptations across the lifespan.  I am currently studying the effects of exercise training on glucocorticoid response and neuroplasticity in cardiorespiratory and locomotor areas of the brain.  As a certified athletic trainer, I am also interested in investigating screening procedures to identify signs and symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which has been linked to most sudden cardiac deaths in young athletes.
