Research Team
Undergraduate Research
Students gain valuable experience in the research process, problem-solving, and working within a team while completing research projects. Exercise Science students regularly present their research at the MSU Undergraduate Research Symposium and the Northland ACSM Conference.

If you are interested in conducting your own research project, volunteering to collect data for other research projects, or just learning about the research process, fill out the research team inquiry below.

Examples of student research topics I have mentored:
Highschool injury relationship to current physical activity levels
Academic and overall stress in student take physical activity classes
Handgrip strength among aerobic trained, resistance trained, rock climbers, and sedentary populations
Static vs dynamic stretching and vertical jump performance
Research Team Inquiry
Student Research
It is amazing to see the work my student put in to go from idea to presentation.
My Work
I throughly enjoy working with students and the community to integrate physiological and psychological components of exercise and physical activity for all ages and demographics.
