My research focuses on the cellular mechanisms of fatigue during an acute bout of exercise and the skeletal muscle adaptations to chronic exercise.

Now, I enjoy weightlifting and going to spin classes. My girlfriend and I love trying new and unique foods in Toronto. We also love going to musicals and concerts.
