Her research focus includes physical activity persistence for healthy longevity and risk reduction, physical activity habit formation, health-enhancing physical activity, and exercise as an alternative to medicine to improve health outcomes. Her populations of interest include Black birthing people, able-bodied and disabled Veterans, and cancer survivors.
