About
I am an assistant professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center (PBRC) and the director of the Aging, Gynecology, and Endocrinology Laboratory. As a registered dietitian and exercise physiologist with expertise in female physiology, my long-term goal is to investigate the mechanisms through which reproductive hormone status, particularly estrogen loss during menopause, influence skeletal muscle physiology, metabolic health, and physical function in aging women. To this end, I have begun to establish an innovative, translational research agenda in aging science focused on examining sex differences and developing clinical precision exercise and nutrition approaches to prevent disease and disability women across the lifespan.
