My primary research focuses on enhancing physical activity and academic achievement in urban youth children through the implementation of a national program called Active Science, which integrates physical activity, technology and academic achievement in school-age children. An additional research focus includes exploring the role of pedagogical innovations on student learning in integrated health science courses. Other areas of her research focus on the role of fluid balance on performance in male and female athletes. My most recent work focused on the effects of the timing and magnitude of fluid intake on performance in a simulated altitude environment.
