Contact Me If...
- Student: interested in joining the CML team, or if you want to learn more about 24-hour activity behaviors in clinical populations like cancer survivors.
- Journalist: would like some scientific input on a story.
- Keywords: exercise oncology, cardiometabolic disease risk, sedentary behavior, physical activity, sleep, policy intervention development, exercise immunology, exercise prescription, implementation
- Scientist: possible collaboration, arrange a talk/lecture, grab a coffee if you’re in town!
- Clinician/practitioner: developing referrals for exercise oncology and input regarding recommending sedentary behavior reduction and physical activity promotion for cancer survivors.
- Anyone: always happy to chat!

Research Interests
I am interested in three primary lines of inquiry including
- Understanding the barriers and facilitators for improving 24-hour activity behaviors in oncology populations targeting sedentary behavior, physical activity, and sleep
- Mechanisms underlying the effect of 24-hour activity behaviors on cancer prevention and control
- Exercise immunology and exercise prescription for oncology populations with an emphasis on lifestyle implementation
I hope to work at a research focused university attached to an academic medical center and comprehensive cancer center. I am interested in developing real-world interventions that improve 24-hour activity behaviors in cancer survivors, reduce risk for cardiometabolic disease, and increase quality of life.
Personal Facts
- I love to be outside with my chocolate lab named Tucker
- My husband Dakota and I are always working on projects together including currently renovating a van into a camper
