I am a PhD student in Dr Stuart Phillips protein metabolism lab. We specialize in muscle physiology, ageing, nutrition and exercise. During my PhD I lead a large study focussing on lighter weight resistance training in older overweight adults. My passion is to investiage differnt external stimuli like nutrition, physical activity and medicine that we can control to put our body in an optimal state of performance. This can mean getting your body ready for an important hockey game or the continuous fight against aging.
As a former Physical Education teacher, I am always looking at ways to include and motivate people to start being more physicaly active for the rest of their lives.
