My post-doctoral fellowship at Northeastern University (2011-2015) – including two summer sabbaticals to the Laureate Institute for Brain Research – focused on investigating the role of the body in emotions using psychophysiology and brain fMRI. After my postdoctoral fellowship I began applying my basic scientific skills and my interests in exercise to an important public health problem: cancer. I was particularly drawn to work at the University of Rochester Cancer Control Unit (2015-Current) because of their successful research program using exercise to reduce side-effects from cancer and its treatment.
