Kenzie Friesen PhD

Kenzie Friesen started as a new Postdoctoral fellow in the Canadian Centre for Rural and Agricultural Health (CCRAH) this September. Kenzie completed her PhD in kinesiology at Auburn University where she studied shoulder biomechanics, pain, and injury among softball pitchers. Recently, Kenzie was part of the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre within the Faculty of Kinesiology at The University of Calgary where she used inertial measuring units and neuroimaging to assess risk of concussion among youth athletes.

Now with a CIHR fellowship and within the Canadian Centre for Rural and Agricultural Health, Kenzie will continue to study shoulder biomechanics in breast cancer survivors, as well as conduct prospective analyses assessing shoulder function and pain development within the Shoulder Health and Ergonomics lab directed by Dr. Angelica Lang.

Outside of the lab, Kenzie enjoys participating in sports and outdoor activities including softball, pickleball, spike ball, volleyball, camping, hiking, and skiing. She also loves being with friends and family, namely her three adorable nieces.
