Associate Professor
Augusta University
Hi, my name is Dr. Maleah (Holland) Winkler and I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Augusta University. My educational degrees are all related to Kinesiology. My PhD had a nutrition focus as well. I received my bachelors from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, my Masters from Indiana University, and my PhD from Auburn University. I ran track and played field hockey in high school and in college until I incurred multiple concussions. After using nutrition to help reduce my concussion symptoms, I decided to study nutrition in a more in depth manner, especially in relation to cognition and stress. Therefore, my current research focuses on reducing stress-related health symptoms through exercise and nutrition in populations under stress, such as fire fighters.
