Dr. Burns received her BS and MOT from the University of New Mexico, PhD from Texas Woman’s University, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship sponsored by the American Heart Association at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Burns’ research has primarily focused on the development, testing, and implementation of mobile health (mHealth) assessments and interventions to improve community living outcomes for people with disability.
