"My focus has always been identifying the exercise interventions that best improve health, fitness, and long-term outcomes."

Heather brings nearly two decades of clinical exercise physiology to your care team. Since 2014, she has led the exercise physiology team at NYU Langone's Sports Performance Center, coordinating dieticians, exercise physiologists, and physical and occupational therapists — and building training programs around advanced testing like 3D motion capture, metabolic assessment, and isokinetic strength analysis.

Before NYU Langone, Heather spent five years as a Senior Exercise Physiologist in Diagnostic Cardiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Exercise Physiology from Northeastern University and is a Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and Cancer Exercise Specialist.
