Biographical Information

My life in the sports industry began as a tennis coach for a number of years, before deciding to undertake tertiary education in sports & exercise science. After completing a Honours degree at the University of Sydney, I spent some time within the Physiology department at the Australian Institute of Sport, gaining valuable experience working with some of Australia's elite performers. This helped fuel interest in a PhD which I undertook with the Sports Nutrition discipline, looking at supplement use to improve endurance performance.

I've been in academia now for a number of years and am thoroughly enjoying both the teaching and research aspects of it. I'm still pursuing research in the sports performance area - anything that might give me a little edge in improving my very mediocre athletic ability.
