About Me
I am a three-time graduate from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, where I completed my Hon. BSc, MSc and PhD in the Integrative Biosciences Kinesiology Program. I moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 2020, where I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cardiac Sciences in the Cumming School of Medicine
My research
My research focuses on patients with Autonomic Failure under the combined supervision of Drs. Satish Raj and Richard Wilson. The Autonomic Nervous System regulates physiological processes that occur automatically including control of heart rate and blood pressure. Individuals with Autonomic Failure cannot regulate these processes, and as a result their blood pressure drops significantly when they stand up. During my PhD, I examined brain activity in structures that contribute to autonomic control in Autonomic Failure patients. During my fellowship I will investigate a new tool to measure autonomic activity in the brain, assess a novel technique to improve blood pressure regulation, and compare autonomic reactivity that may put women at increased cardiovascular risk.
