As an Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology and an ACSM-certified Exercise Specialist in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, I wear many hats. I am a researcher, writer, educator, advisor, and director for both the Exercise Science Teaching Lab and the new Undergraduate Fitness Program Track. I also hold adjunct appointments with UNC Medical School’s Department of Emergency Medicine and the Department of Allied Health Sciences.
Over the years I have garnered several honors and awards, including attaining “Fellow” status within the ACSM and a “Neuroimaging Prize for Junior Investigators” given jointly by the American Federation of Aging, the New York Academy of Science, and General Electric for my post-doctoral research work at Duke’s Center for Aging.

But exercise is not only my work, it is one of my hobbies, which is why my work doesn’t feel like work. While I love to play tennis, my aging joints do not, so I have caught the triathlon bug, at least for the swimming. I have been the swimmer of a mixed relay team named U3 (clever, huh?) And train for ONE event a year, the Pinehurst Triathlon. It’s the last one of the season in North Carolina, held the first week in October. I gave up feeble attempts at road cycling/running after landing in one ditch too many. I have also dabbled in ‘extra’ work when film crews come to town which has inspired my Halloween extreme makeovers. |
