Thesis titled: The influence of the repeated bout effect on skeletal muscle power production, damage-induced strength loss and fatigue-induced strength lossTo complete this study I learned:• Dry-lab neuromechanical analysis using a vast array of dynamometry, electromyography and electrical stimulation of the brain, spinal cord, motor nerve and muscle• Wet-lab analysis of blood serum; ELISA and spectrophotometry techniques• To design, collect, and analyze a massive, novel multi-visit (12) study which required dailycoordination and precise scheduling of multiple laboratories, colleagues and participants• How to receive IRB approval for human subject research

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

•Oversaw and instructed weekly labs covering the core biomechanical competencies (Kinematics, Kinetics, Inverse Dynamics, Fatigue, Electromyography) •Technical set-up and troubleshooting software/hardware errors (LoggerPro, Motion Capture, Force plates, EMG)

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

•Gatorade Sports Science Institute assessments of professional hockey athletes (NHL, INTL, AHL, OHL) to advise on appropriate fluid consumption during practice and games in order to maintain peak performance.•Specific gravity, sweat content analysis (Na+, Cl-), comparative nutritional content analysis of sport drinks

• Supervised and managed landscape teams to complete tasks according to plan and on-schedule. • Attended WSPS meetings and workshops and implemented safety ‘tailgate talks’. • Worked with management to fix employee safety concerns while proactively mitigating workplace hazards.
