With almost two decades of combined experience as a scholar, professional, and practitioner in exercise physiology, I bring a breadth of expertise that bridges research, teaching, and applied practice. My background spans muscle biophysics, physiology, and exercise physiology, with a focus on assessing muscle and cardio-pulmonary function through fitness assessments and exercise testing. Having coached varsity Cross-Country, Track, and endurance athletes in triathlon, road running, and swimming, I specialize in optimizing performance in endurance sports. In addition to my academic and coaching work, I co-founded WheelPower Inc., enhancing my entrepreneurial skills in developing innovative solutions for the sports industry. I am recognized for delivering engaging lectures, collaborating effectively with research staff, athletes, and clients, and excelling in team environments. Fluent in English and Portuguese, with basic knowledge of French and Spanish, I thrive in dynamic, inclusive learning environments and bring a global perspective to my work.
