OVERVIEW

I gained a BSc in Sports Science in 2013, followed by an MSc in Applied Exercise Physiology in 2014, both from the University of Brighton. 

I am a CASES Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist and am also a supervisor and reviewer on the CASES Supervised Experience programme. I am an Applied Sport & Exercise Scientist and have worked at the University of East London since 2018. I lead and coordinate consultancy services within the department, which include a range of applied work testing sports teams, athletes, and clients. 

I support teaching practical classes in Physiology and Biomechanics in laboratory-based sessions. This provides students with essential applied experience, which they can build on when working with clients in our Human Performance Clinic. 

In 2022, I received the UEL Teaching Fellow award in recognition of my contributions to learning and teaching within the School. 

In 2024, I successfully led the CASES Laboratory Accreditation process and am now a CASES Accredited Laboratory Director for the Physiology Laboratory at Sports Dock.
