Assistant Professor, Kinesiology
Dr. Cassie Williamson-Reisdorph is an integrative physiologist and an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at Berry College. Her research centers around the physiological stress response to exercise and the environment, with a special interest in female physiology and health. Currently, she teaches courses in nutrition, sports nutrition, exercise physiology, cardiovascular physiology and research methods at Berry College. During her leisure time, she finds enjoyment in activities such as hiking, backpacking, camping, paddleboarding and cycling with her family.
