I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2015 with a B.S. in Kinesiology: Exercise Science. My undergraduate curriculum included a vast stretch of topics on human anatomy and physiology as they relate to exercise: Adaptations with exercise, exercise in special populations, exercise testing and evaluation, and clinical applications for exercise, among others. Cardiac pathophysiology (heart problems) was a focus of my undergraduate studies; this led me to the University of Vermont Medical Center, where I interned in their cardiac rehabilitation department under Dr. Philip Ades, a renowned expert in the field of cardiac rehabilitation. Shortly thereafter, I was hired at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, New Hampshire as an Exercise Physiologist in their Cardiac Rehabilitation department. I worked there for nearly five years and helped to transform our department into an educational oasis; I worked to overhaul our education curriculum, developing presentations, lectures and materials for a range of topics around cardiac health, and I taught the classes daily on a rotating schedule. Prior to my departure from the Hospital, I was fortunate enough to be awarded a Commendation by New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu for my work. I recently completed my studies in pursuit of an M.B.A., which I also completed at the University of New Hampshire.
