Nicole (she, her, hers) is a Ph.D. student in the School of Kinesiology under the supervision of Dr. Eli Puterman. She completed a B.Sc.Kin at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON from 2010- 2015, and moved to the University of Guelph in 2016 to complete a M.Sc. investigating cellular changes in skeletal muscle with aging in humans. Competing for 5 years on the McMaster Varsity Wrestling team, Nicole has always had an interest in how physical activity can affect our daily lives in school or work, disease status, social interactions, aging, and mental health. Currently at UBC, she is interested in different modalities of exercise and how they can affect physiological, social, and exercise adherence factors for women living with HIV. Nicole is loving living in Vancouver with the many adventures the city, mountains, and ocean has to offer!
