Summary
I am a driven healthcare and exercise physiology expert dedicated to bridging healing and high performance. With extensive experience in fitness and healthcare, I have trained and treated a diverse range of clients, from collegiate athletes to seniors as old as 96, achieving significant improvements in functional capacity.
I specialize in tailored treatment and training for the geriatric population, focusing on lower extremity orthopedic conditions and chronic diseases. As a physical therapist and clinical exercise physiologist, I have expertise in exercise cardiology, pulmonology, and chronic and acute pathologies affecting exercise response. I am also skilled in exercise testing protocols like Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test and pulmonary function tests. With my experience as a tutor and mentor in the academic setting, I am uniquely qualified to provide peer-to-peer education to a wide audience, from the PhD to the novice healthcare professional to the eager patient.
