I joined University of East London in 2020 from Southampton Football Club where I was Head of Research and Innovation and prior to that worked in universities in Chester and Southampton. I bring a wealth of both academic and practitioner experience with me to deliver employment ready support and experiences for students and research endeavours.
I have led several sport science laboratory installations that involved designing, project managing and delivering on these multi-million pound projects, ensured they achieved BASES accreditation (professional body for sport science) whilst providing delivery of the highest quality service to students and external clients across a variety of professional sports. I am also personally accredited by BASES and am a Chartered Scientist and a professional member of the Physiological Society.
My research is impact driven and is always trying to answer the questions and needs of those I work with. I have and continue to research across the sport and exercise continuum into areas such as elite football, investigating exercise as a tool for making communities more physically healthy across the lifecycle and using high performance models to develop sporting success in African refugees. I supervise PhD students (I have 5 completions) and am currently working with Southampton FC and St Mary’s University investigating the effects of cryotherapy on elite premier league players. I am also an expert reviewer for the Journal of Experimental Physiology, Applied Ergonomics, Industrial Health, Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, European Journal of Applied Physiology and Applied Ergonomics.
I continue to also develop myself in the area of leadership having undertaken the University of London’s Outstanding Leadership Programme.
