As a Post-Doctoral Associate at University of Minnesota, I am passionate about advancing the scientific knowledge and understanding of muscle physiology as it relates to disease and injury. With over 10 years of research experience in both clinical and wet lab settings, I have developed and applied many techniques to study human performance, muscle injuries, and muscle diseases. Through these projects, I have demonstrated my skills in teamwork, leadership, and project management, as well as my ability to communicate and disseminate research findings to various audiences. My goal moving forward is to leverage my expertise and experience to either conduct research, educate students in higher education, or communicate research findings.
