Research interest:
My research interests lie in exercise physiology and with a focus on optimising athlete recovery and performance. I am particularly intrigued by the impact of nutrition and supplementation, injury prevention, strength and conditioning and mental preparation on athletic outcomes.
Non-academic interest: I’m passionate about fitness, outdoor adventures, and exploring new restaurants. When I’m not studying, you can find me swimming, running, gyming or trying new coffee spots. Love spending summer days at the beach, wakeboarding, and soaking up the sun.
