Kristin’s background as a competitive rower and rowing coach inspired her exploration of human performance and its underlying physiology and psychology. This interest led to pursuing a PhD in Kinesiology under the direction of Dr. Andrew Watson, and inspires her work to improve the mental and physical health of athletes, both during and after their competitive careers. Kristin tries to keep up with her cattle dog, among other physical activities, to stay mentally and physically healthy for the long haul.
