About
My work has focused on how we can use data to support decisions to individualize monitoring to optimize human performance.  My work has demonstrated that a one size fits all approach is not the way to optimize performance in any setting.  My monitoring approach is one that utilizes a network physiology paradigm, which focuses on nonlinear dynamic interactions. In my athlete monitoring I focus on leveraging EMA and wearables; biological sampling and resistance exercise and conditioning prescribed to elicit a specific biological response.    Additionally, as a practitioner it is important to understand the limitations of athlete monitoring, which is another area research and practice has focused.  This is an important skillset that is currently being utilized by the in a project entitled “Integrating mHealth and Physical Function to Develop a Predictors of Injury and Optimal Performance Model in Special Military Operators “with the Rangers in the 3/75 Ranger Battalion.  This approach is one that quantifies factors such as dosage variables of training and lifestyle factors (sleep, nutrition, life stress).  Using this data, we are working on individualizing acute training sessions to optimize readiness and performance enhancement.   During my time at Syracuse University, I was the professor of record to teach the NSCA CSCS preparation course and lead the strength and conditioning program.  We were developing a master’s in exercise science and I was in the process of working on certification with the NSCA.  We also worked closely with athletics to secure strength and conditioning assistantships to allow for student funding.  I am currently on several NSCA committees, which include the Education and Women’s Committee (next certification cycle).    I am particularly adept at all phases of the athletic performance enhancement and these experiences have given me expertise in evidence based program design, linear and non-linear periodization, exercise endocrinology, resistance exercise physiology and acute and chronic training readiness and non-training parameters
