Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

I graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with an MSc in Kinesiology and Physical Education in 2008, and my teaching labs at Laurier currently are Motor Learning and Control (KP161), Fundamentals of Biomechanics (KP251), Inferential Statistics (KP390), and Biomechanics of Human Movement (KP351).
My background and research interests lie in the area of applying principals of motor learning and control to elderly neurodegenerative populations in rehabilitation settings. Recently, I have been focusing my attention on the gait disorders which afflict individuals with Parkinson's disease, specifically Freezing of Gait (FOG).
