Biography
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky. My research focus is type 2 diabetes risk reduction in first-degree family members and spouses of persons diagnosed with diabetes through lifestyle modification utilizing health coaching strategies. I have previously conducted a qualitative study examining dyadic management of a dual low sodium and diabetic diet that focused on individuals with diagnosed heart failure and type 2 diabetes as well as their spouses.
