PhD Student

Stacey Forbes

Stacey completed her BScH in Human Kinetics and MSc in Exercise, Nutrition and Metabolism at the University of Guelph. Her MSc research looked at the effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on oxygen consumption during submaximal exercise in well-trained female ringette athletes. Stacey is currently completing her PhD here at Queen’s University in the Human Vascular Control Laboratory. Her research is focused on the coordination of the various mechanisms involved in the cardiovascular response to increased vasodilation during cycling exercise.
Alyssa Fenuta

Alyssa Fenuta

Alyssa grew up in Vaughan and completed her undergraduate and Masters degree in Kinesiology at McMaster University (Hamilton, ON). Alyssa is currently completing her doctorate studies in the Human Vascular Control Laboratory investigating nitrate supplementation’s influence on oxygen delivery and exercise performance. Within the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University (Kingston, ON) she is also involved as a teaching assistant for the Exercise, Disability and Aging Mini-stream. This undergraduate mini-stream is closely affiliated with the Revved Up program where she serves as a personal trainer creating adapted exercise programs for individuals with mobility impairments and intellectual disabilities.
