She graduated from Merrimack College in 2021 with a Master of Science in Exercise and Sports Science. She also received her Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology from Boston University in 2019.

The course covers a wide range of chronic conditions and diseases and students learn how to properly evaluate, progress and improve the physical fitness of each population. Endicott is an essential academic partner for SLI. Many students from the School of Sports Science complete their semester-long experiential learning opportunity with the Neuro-Fit program.
