Guided by Science.
Informed by Experience.
Proven Results.

I truly believe that the best part of education is being able to teach. Below I have some of my favorite presentations that I've given over the past couple years, my research, and podcasts that I host/have been invited on to. My goal is to spread knowledge in a way that's easily digestible and practical.

Presentations

2022 – NSCA New Mexico State Clinic; Albuquerque, NM. Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage and Soreness: Why it
occurs and how to manage it

2021 – Albuquerque Strength & Conditioning Clinic; Albuquerque, NM. Developing Energy Systems

2021 – Fit Mind & Body Summit; Online. Exercise: The Magic Pill

2020 – NSCA New Mexico State Clinic; Albuquerque, NM. Cardiometabolic Adaptations to Resistance Training: What it Means and How to Implement it

2019 – Albuquerque Strength & Conditioning Clinic; Albuquerque, NM. Cardiometabolic adaptations to Resistance Training: Practical Application 

2018 – Southwest ACSM; Costa Mesa, CA. Effects of Acute Carbohydrate Supplementation on Performance for Female, Division I, Collegiate Cheerleaders 

2017 – NIRSA Region II Conference; Ponte Vedra, FL. Gym-timidation? How to Promote Inclusion Through Knowledge 
2015 – Midwest FitFest Presenter; Dayton, OH. Exercise Dependence Syndrome
