About me

Welcome to my homepage. I am a lecturer in clinical exercise science and the Program Director for Clinical Exercise Physiology here at UniSA. I have always been interested in the physiology of exercise and how this can influence human function and health. In addition to pursing this interest though teaching and research I have applied my interest practically in a number of modalities including performance enhancement, health and fitness coaching, and as an accredited clinical exercise physiologist in private practice, hospitals, GP Superclinics and university health practices. Today I mostly fulfil my passion for exercise and health through research to inform practice, educating new clinicians, and working to advance the profession through ...
