I am an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Senior Lecturer in the School of Health Sciences,听Faculty of Medicine & Health. I was awarded听my听PhD from听国民彩票 Sydney in 2017.听My clinical, research and teaching expertise听concern the role of exercise for the management of chronic pain and chronic fatigue.
Through my research, I aim to improve health outcomes and quality of life for people with low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, and medically-unexplained fatigue states. Underpinning my research is a commitment to Open Science principles to improve research transparency and openness.
