I joined the Department of Pediatrics as an Assistant Professor with the Child Health & Exercise Medicine Program in 2017.

My research program focuses on exploring the power of play for children and adolescents growing up with a chronic medical condition or disability. My current research spans 3 broad and connected themes, including exploring the measurement of movement, understanding the relationships between physical activity and health, and investigating the role of technology to promote physical activity throughout the pediatric years.

Fun fact: I have 2 rabbits: a dwarf hotot named Oreo, and a holland lop named Cosmo!

I completed my Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Toronto and joined CHEMP in 2019. I thoroughly enjoy working with this fun and energetic group and supporting the wonderful research they are doing.

I love playing golf (sadly, not well), sampling good food & wine, and travelling. And watching water polo.

Fun fact: I have 6 kids, 4 of whom graduated from McMaster!

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Biology at Queen’s University and my Master of Science in Medical Sciences at McMaster University.

I have many years of experience in Pharmacovigilance and as a Research Coordinator. I recently joined the Child Health & Exercise Medicine Program as Research Coordinator and look forward to supporting all the research projects underway.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking trails, spending time by the lake, and making home videos.

I completed my academic training at McMaster University (PhD) and the University of Toronto (MSc).

My research interests and expertise lie at the intersection of concussion, neuroimaging, and exercise medicine. Currently, the status quo of concussion care is changing from “rest is best” to “exercise is medicine”, as research now shows that low-intensity exercise can improve concussion symptoms. To build on this exciting new wave of research, I am leading a study aimed at understanding the impact of such exercise on not only symptoms, but also brain function.

Away from the lab, you can find me training for triathlons, tending my vegetable garden, or nervously watching Leafs games.

I am currently a PhD Candidate in the Medical Sciences Program, working under the co-supervision of Dr. Brian Timmons and Dr. Joyce Obeid.

I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Wyoming and my Master of Science in Clinical Exercise Physiology from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. During my time at University of Wyoming, I worked as a research assistant in the Pediatric Physical Activity Lab. This is where I began to develop an interest in and love for pediatric exercise medicine research, specifically the impact of physical activity participation on heart health in child with and without medical conditions. After completing my Master’s degree, I had the opportunity to intern at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital in the Exercise Testing and Holter Lab. Working with the pediatric population in the form of exercise testing and counselling, I saw firsthand how much of an impact physical activity or lack thereof, can make on this population. This solidified my desire to go on to do research to examine the relationships between physical activity and its long term effects and outcomes on both the healthy pediatric population and those with medical conditions.

Fun Fact: I have an affinity for hiking and coffee shops. On the weekends you will either find me studying at my favourite local coffee shop, or out finding a new trail to hike.

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Waterloo in Kinesiology (BSc) with a minor in Medical Physiology.

I am currently a PhD student in Medical Sciences at McMaster University and my supervisor is Dr. Joyce Obeid. My current research focuses on improving physical activity and sedentary time measurement in toddlers as well as investigating the impact of physical activity on toddler health outcomes. I am currently involved with the iPLAY project.

Outside of research, I love to read and bake!

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo. Now I am at McMaster University, completing my doctorate in Medical Sciences with Dr.Obeid as my supervisor.

I am currently leading the PARTI study. My research investigates ways in which physical activity and exercise can improve the lives of children and adolescents living with chronic disease. Specifically, how physical activity can potentially improve response to biologic therapy in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Fun fact: I was diagnosed with IBD during my undergrad, and it inspired me to get involved in research!
