Physical activities and exercise intervention are particularly challenging when involving older adults with Alzheimers disease and other dementias. Inactivity exacerbates physical and cognitive deficits through the loss of motivation and efficiency in performing activities which leads to further deterioration and decline in function among these patients.

I grew up in Wells, ME and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Delaware with an Honors Degree in exercise physiology and minors in chemistry and medical humanities. I received my M.D from the University of Medicine and Dentistry New Jersey- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and am currently completing my Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at San Antonio Military Medical Center in San Antonio, TX. As an active duty Officer in the United States Army. I look forward to continuing to care for injured service men and women as an Orthopaedic Surgeon when I have completed my residency. I am very interested in both orthopaedic research and education and will likely peruse a career that has an academic tie-in, if not focus.
