Research Interests
- I am interested in studying the impact of exercise on cancer. Specifically, I am interested in exercise as a “neo-adjuvant” strategy to prime the body’s physiological systems before surgical and pharmaceutical treatments. I am especially interested in the potential relationship this effect may have on preventing or attenuating chemo and cardio toxicities.
Special Interests/Hobbies
- Working on my family farm, riding horses, playing polo, running, cycling, and making (and eating) lots of cupcakes!
