My research involves clinical exercise physiology, epidemiology and sport science. These three fields of study come together in my role as a doctor of Public Health. Our laboratory research group uses blood markers (hormones) metabolic parameters, (bone mineral density, bone content, lean body and fat free mass) and physiological profiles (exercise and activity based), to provide evidence towards population based outcomes. My lab's collaborations spread across several disciplines including: medicine, health promotion, environmental design, and athletic populations. These rich experiences provide my lab with a wealth of information which allows us to translate knowledge (which we are very passionate about) and impact audiences through speaking and writing.
Please note that my career framework is founded in public health and health education.

My career framework is founded in public health, defined as everything outside the health care system, and how society functions. My academic appointments model this framework with positions in the Faculties of Kinesiology and Environmental Design (adjunct-EVDS), as an affiliate and part of the Faculty of the Population Health Intervention Research Centre – within the Faculty of Medicine, as a collaborator with the Sport Injury Research Prevention Centre and as a member of the Alberta Children's Hospital Research Institute for Child and Maternal Health. My work in the academy as well as in the community reflects my innate ability to engage and speak with diverse populations on health and educational issues particularly related to the broad domain of Health Literacy in Canadian society. Two of my strongest attributes are knowledge transfer in public health with a similar expertise in research translation. I am entering my 25th year in academia and therefore I have a cadre of conventional and creative skill sets with novel expertise in the areas of clinical skills, education, research, teaching and speaking. I am acutely aware, that partnerships outside the university setting, and collaborations between and across universities provide the foundation for enhancing the intellectual life of university faculty, students and staff. Therefore I volunteer and provide support to the greater community through working with organizations outside the academia. In summary, I have a solid reputation, an encompassing familiarity with academia and adult learners, a strong belief in advocacy and a passion for societal investment, a leadership style that embraces collaboration and participation and last but not least a spirit of innovation and creativity.
