Tell us a little bit about your lab!
Directed by Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose, the Aging, Mobility, and Cognitive Health Lab aims at validating exercise as an approach to minimize the impact of cognitive impairment and dementia while optimizing physical function, mobility, and functional independence in older adults.
What project are you currently working on?
I am currently examining the effect of a 12-month, progressive resistance training program on white matter integrity in older adults with vascular cognitive impairment using novel neuroimaging techniques.
What do you like to do outside of academia?
Outside of academia, I can be found in the outdoors either hiking or looking for the best coffee in Vancouver!
