Yanlin received her BSc in Kinesiology (Honours) at Dalhousie University. She is interested in physical activity, sedentary behavior, and artery health. Then, she continued to finish MSc in Kinesiology at Dalhousie University at the Autonomic Cardiovascular Control of Exercise lab. After that, she joined the GMR team shortly. Yanlin conducts an interview study to gain healthcare providers’ and patients’ perspectives on exercise, education, and geriatric assessments. The further goal of the interview study is to create interventions integrating into the healthcare based on people’s perspectives.
