About me

I am an experienced early career academic with my research primarily focusing on how how traning and game demands and sleep impact performance in team sport athletes. I have a strong interest in the application of player monitoring for basketball and other court based sports.

I also have considerable experience in research methods and rural health research.

I am an Accredited Exercise Scientist and Sports Scientist (Level 1) with Exercise and Sports Science Australia.
