Jessica Vander Vaart

Research Interests: Jessica has been passionate about exercise for as long as she can remember, and has been able to share her passion over the last few years when teaching Muay Thai at UWaterloo. Having completed two undergrad degrees at Waterloo (Science with minor in Biology/Psychology; Kinesiology with minor in Rehab Sciences) and after taking courses regarding aging and physical activity, she became more interested in cognitive function and aging.

Current Studies: Jessica is currently doing her PhD studies in the Sensorimotor Control and Learning Lab (SCiLL). She is still with the Brain and Body lab as a research assistant helping out with the DELIGHT program.
