Background
I am currently a second year PhD Kinesiology student specializing in Cognitive and Motor Neuroscience at Michigan State University (MSU). I received my Bachelors in Kinesiology: Exercise Science and Masters Degree in Kinesiology: Biomechanics/Motor Behavior at California State University Northridge (CSUN). My current research interests include the use of emerging technologies in servicing cognitively/physically impacted populations, motion analysis in subjective performance based sport (hip-hop dance), and performance prediction of abilities in various complex motor tasks (often requiring cross-disciplinary approaches and collaborations to solve research problems).
In addition to currently serving as a Research/Teaching Associate at MSU, I am also a Professional Tutor for the Biology Studio at Lansing Community College’s Teaching & Learning Commons. I also currently serve as an Adjunct Instructor role within Sciences & Math Department at Lansing Community College (specifically for Anatomy & Physiology).
Before coming to MSU, I served as adjunct faculty at CSUN & Cal Lutheran University teaching various courses pertaining to upper level courses in Exercise Physiology, Motor Development, Applied Motor Behavior Principles, and Biomechanics.
