I am a lecturer in exercise science and a nutrition and exercise science researcher in the School of Health Sciences at the University of South Australia. I also hold an Honorary Research Fellow position at Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin. My research interests are in investigating the role that dietary intake and physical activity play in regulating body weight status and cardio-metabolic disease risk.
