Erica M. Marshall, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Exercise Science
My teaching philosophy is based upon my previous experiences in the weight room, which is the importance of fundamentals, proper explanation, hands on experience, and feedback provided by the instructor, as well as effort, accountability, and humility from the student.
Biography
I recently joined Florida Southern College as an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. I received my PhD in Exercise Physiology from Kent State University with a focus on cardiovascular health. My current {research} interests lie in understanding the effects of resistance exercise modalities on large artery stiffness and heart rate variability.I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, American College of Sports Medicine Certified Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-EP), and American Red Cross First Aid, CPR & AED Instructor.
My passion and knowledge of exercise span academia. In my career, I have also worked extensively as a personal trainer, strength coach, and group exercise instructor. I am genuinely interested in motivating others to prioritize their health and adopt a physically active lifestyle.
