Katie
I recently completed a bachelor of Human Kinetics, specializing in Clinical Exercise Physiology. My current research interests include surgical, pediatric and oncology rehabilitation.
I have an undergraduate science degree from the University of Alberta (biology and psychology), and am currently researching exercise training programs in liver cirrhosis patients. In my off-time I enjoy golfing, mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking, weight lifting, cooking, and home brewing.
I am interested in researching the effects of physical activity and evidence-based exercise prescription on cancer patients, with a focus on prostate cancer and bone metastases. My goal is to help patients become more physically active and improve their overall quality of life, both during and after treatment.
