Developed and led research projects aimed at investigating the role of calcium sensitive protein kinases in glucose uptake into skeletal muscle.

Developed a new line of research focused on novel methods of manipulating cellular energetics. Demonstrated for the first time that reductions in intracellular ATP, while maintaining the apparent free energy of ATP hydrolysis, can slow the rate of proteasome mediated protein degradation in skeletal muscle. My research provides insights into potential new therapeutic targets for diseases in which skeletal muscle atrophy is a compounding factor, such as cancer cachexia, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.

Managed manuscript reviews for submissions from North and South America.Timely facilitated the peer-review process and communicated results with authors. Made decisions regarding publication of manuscripts based on reviewers recommendations.

Collected data on muscle activation patterns and resultant fatigue in cyclists during a 40 km time trial. Additionally, I taught multiple sections of the exercise physiology lab, and many activity classes.
