I am a Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University and Director of the SHE IS Laboratory (Scientific Health Empowerment & Integrative Solutions). I earned my Ph.D. in Human Sciences under Dr. Jeff Volek, focusing on ketogenic nutrition and women’s health, and have over a decade of research experience in endocrinology. My work centers on how ketogenic diets and exogenous ketones affect hormonal regulation, reproductive health, metabolic flexibility, and cognitive outcomes across the female lifespan. I have led interdisciplinary clinical trials, secured NIH and foundation funding, and published award-winning manuscripts, including The Charles E. Ragus Award from the American Nutrition Association. I take pride in mentoring the next generation of scientists while advancing innovative, evidence-based strategies to empower women’s health and precision dietary intervention strategies.
