  • About

    I am a nutritional epidemiologist with a primary focus on sleep and diet in relation to cardiometabolic health. I completed my doctoral and postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, with an additional postdoctoral fellowship at the Division of Sleep Medicine at Michigan Medicine.

    Research Overview

    I have several lines of research, including the examination of: 1) how early nutritional environments affect childhood obesity and timing of puberty; 2) how various aspects of sleep- including duration, timing, and quality- affect development of cardiometabolic risk; 3) the bidirectional associations between sleep and diet; and 4) epigenetic markers or mediators that underlie relationships between sleep and cardiometabolic health
