The science behind body movements has always been my passion. I became an ACSM Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-CEP), where I specialize in creating safe, effective, and individualized exercise prescriptions for people living with chronic diseases. My goal is to help individuals improve their body composition, manage their conditions, enhance their overall health, and experience a better quality of life through evidence-based movement and lifestyle strategies.
I earned my master’s degree in Kinesiology from George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia. My clinical background includes conducting cardiac stress tests to evaluate cardiovascular function, VO2max tests to evaluate how much oxygen the body needs while exercising, Resting Metabolic Rate tests to measure how many calories the body burns during rest, and body composition tests using the DEXA scan and the BOD POD. At the present time, I work as an exercise physiologist at Inova Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center. In this role, I help patients with chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases recover their strength, improve their physical function, and return to daily activities with greater confidence and independence.
I believe that happiness starts with health, and health can be achieved through four easy adaptive measures such as a nutritionally balanced diet, adequate physical activity, regular sleep hours, and managing daily stress.
