Over the past 15 years, she has been involved in developing and validating physical activity outcome measurement tools to determine activity levels of children with chronic conditions; identifying effective strategies and techniques for changing physical activity behaviours, and conducting clinical trials to study the effects of exercise regimens on walking ability, fitness and quality of life in children with Rheumatological conditions. As a Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Yeh\u2019s lab, Samantha has recently examined the long-term impacts of physical activity participation on symptoms of fatigue and depression in children with multiple sclerosis. In addition, she is helping to set up a program of research that will examine how sleep, physical activity and physical fitness impact disease activity and symptoms in children with demyelinating disorders.

She became involved with the Paediatric MS Clinic in 1999 and quickly developed expertise in childhood-onset MS. In addition to her clinical work, she completed a research study on the Experiences of Children and Adolescents Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and often writes and presents to nurses on the topic of paediatric MS. Jennifer has her bachelor of science degree in Nursing from Western University and a master of health science degree from McMaster University, as well as, her Certification in Neuroscience Nursing in Canada \u2013 CNN(C). She became a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurse (MSCN) in 2002. She is also an Adjunct Lecturer with the Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto, and a Project Investigator with the SickKids Research Institute.
