I am an exercise physiologist whose research focuses on the interaction between exercise, nutrition, immune function, and cognitive performance. My work examines how hormonal status and sex-specific factors influence recovery, metabolism, and neural function following resistance exercise, with an emphasis on women’s health. My research incorporates both applied and cellular methods, including flow cytometry, real-time cell analysis (RTCA), and biochemical assays, to investigate immune and metabolic regulation in response to physiological stress. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at Lindenwood University, where I teach courses in exercise physiology and statistics.
