Research

In 2009 I graduated from the University of Vermont with a BS in Exercise and Movement Science.

I completed my MSc at the University of British Columbia in 2011.

My thesis investigated the interaction between exercise and high altitude and specifically, susceptibility to high altitude illness. My thesis can be found at the UBC library here.

I am currently completing my PhD at UBC in the Environmental Physiology Laboratory where I plan to continue examining the role of exercise in both the hyperbaric and hypobaric environments. 

In the summer of 2012, I participated in two research expeditions.  The first was to Bamfield on Vancouver Island in British Columbia to study the effect of exercise on diving safety.

The second was to Lake Gosainkunda in Nepal to study altitude sickness.
