In 2016, she was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, where she led a regional study of children's outdoor play patterns to understand common barriers to outdoor and neighbourhood play, and the relationship of outdoor play to children's physical and mental health.

A Professional Engineer (Ontario) with a Master of Environmental Design from Dalhousie’s School of Architecture and Planning, Dr. Loebach draws on her diverse, interdisciplinary background in design, project management, research, and community engagement to provide evidence-based programming, design and evaluation of environments for special users, such as children, seniors, and those with disabilities or health conditions.
