As the director of the Trispeed Human Performance Lab, I perform VO2 max, resting metabolic and body fat composition testing on many different populations. I specialize in heart rate zone training and program development.

I was a Division I track and Cross Country athlete in college at University of New Orleans and majored in exercise physiology with a minor in Nutrition. It was there I began doing exercise testing with a professor studying marathon runners, professional cyclists and obese children. During my undergraduate studies I also worked at a sports and conditioning center performing exercise testing and designing training programs for the New Orleans Brass Hockey team as well as many other populations.

I have also worked in many physical therapy clinics including Johns Hopkins outpatient center. My experiences in physical therapy include working with the Orioles baseball players as well as rehabbing a number of overuse injuries.

My formal education continued at Goucher College where I received a Masters degree in athletic administration and worked with Cross-Country and Track & Field athletes. I now work with 23 different sports teams at Towson University on athletic development.

I have worked with individuals, sports teams and professional athletes in both endurance and power sports. Testing athletes has become both a specialty and a passion of mine because I can relate to my clients. I presently compete in triathlons and am a member of Team USA. I feel that I understand the desire to gain physiological insight to improve oneself and maximize and use exercise time the most efficient and effective way possible.
