About me

I am a PhD Candidate at Auckland University of Technology, examining the muscle excitability-glycogen interaction during high intensity exercise-induced fatigue. My secondary aim is to compare this interaction between females and males.

Interests
  • Cellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle fatigue
  • M-wave
  • Critical power/torque
  • Sex differences
Education
  • MSc in Biomechanics and Neuroscience, 2021

    McGill University

  • BSc (Honours) in Kinesiology, 2019
