As a PhD candidate in Health and Human Performance at Oklahoma State University, my work focuses on advancing female athlete health through evidence-based, translational research. Specializing in injury risk and performance optimization, I investigate critical areas unique to female athletes, including sports nutrition, menstrual health, hormonal contraceptive use, and their combined influence on musculoskeletal health. I am passionate about applying these findings to inform best practices. This work will enable the development of evidence-based strategies that can be integrated into injury prevention, treatment, and training programs for female athletes. All of which will enhance their care, safety, and overall performance. Beyond research, I am dedicated to cultivating the next generation of professionals committed to advancing women’s sports health. I engage with both undergraduate and graduate students, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications to help them integrate scientific insights into athlete-centered practices. I also founded LivLionheart, an online platform offering nutrition and training guidance grounded in performance-enhancing principles, bringing research-backed strategies to athletes and sports teams.
