Elaine is an athletic trainer and 3rd year Ph.D. candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Psychology of Sport Injury Lab (Director: Shelby Baez, Ph.D., ATC). Her focus is psychophysiological responses after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction. Elaine's overarching goal is to develop interventions to enhance motor learning during rehabilitation that are also designed to address maladaptive psychophysiological responses to improve quality of life and reduce secondary injury risk for patients after ACL reconstruction.
