Biography
My expertise and interests relate to the promotion of physical activity through both individual and community focused approaches. This includes the health benefits of physical activity across the lifespan, the design and improvement of interventions intended to promote physical activity, and the translation of these interventions into community settings to maximize impact. I also have a background in methods of assessing and interpreting physical activity data at individual and population levels. My current focuses are on the importance of resistance training to support independence with aging, and the assessment and promotion of healthy lifestyles among adults.
