January Student of the Month – Isabelle Rash

Name: Isabelle Rash

Program: PhD

Supervisor: Dr. Brodie Sakakibara & Dr. Bill Miller

 

Tell us a little bit about your lab! 

I am part of two research labs. One is with Brodie Sakakibara as part of the Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management in Kelowna, and one is with Bill Miller (Matters Lab) as part of the Centre for Aging SMART in Vancouver.

What project are you currently working on?

Currently, I am building a prototype of a new virtual rehabilitation technology that might improve virtual rehabilitation intervention delivery. I focus on improving lower extremity mobility in people who have experienced a stroke.

What do you like to do outside of academia?

I do kickboxing, horse riding, yoga, and other exercise activities. I love spending time with my dog and enjoy art nights and baking.
