About Stephanie Elliott

I graduated from Miami University in 2011 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology & Health, and the University of Kentucky in 2014 with a Master’s of Science in Exercise Physiology. At Miami, I was a double major in Exercise Science and Health Studies, with a minor in Sociology. During my time at Miami, I worked 2 jobs, was involved in various extracurricular activities, completed 2 internships, and in May 2010, I received the Service Leadership Award.After graduating from Miami, I worked 55-60 hrs/wk as a Corporate and Sales Recruiter. In August \'12, I joined UK as a graduate student where I received a full scholarship. I was a Teaching Assistant, teaching 4 undergraduate courses/semester. I worked 3 additional jobs, and completed 3 internships in Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabs and physical therapy while going to school full-time.From 2012-13 I assisted in a research lab focusing on causes of CVD, and the onset and prevention of CVD. I completed aortic ultrasounds, removed adipose tissue from the heart and aorta of mice, sectioned the aorta, and tested collagen/elastin. In August \'13 I began work on my Master’s thesis “Acute Exercise and Arterial Function”. I analyzed body composition through W:H, BIA, BMI, and DXA scan. I have become proficient at analyzing pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), and analysis measures to determine arterial stiffness, as well as VO2max exercise tests. I presented a poster on this research at the NAA conference in 2014.After graduating from UK, I began working PRN for Baptist Health Lexington as an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac Rehab while working three additional jobs. Shortly after, I was offered a full-time position with UC Health in Outpatient Cardiopulmonary Rehab. I have gained additional experience in exercise testing and prescription, nutrition counseling, cardiac and pulmonary health education, LVAD, LifeVest, pacemaker/ICD, and ECG. I went on to work PRN for LifeVest while working in Cardiopulmonary Rehab. I also gained experience working in Inpatient Cardiopulmonary Rehab for Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, before moving to Tennessee and working for Inpatient and Outpatient Cardiac Rehabs for St. Thomas in Nashville.BLS, ACLS, RCEP.
