Self-motivated and energised Sport/Exercise Scientist focused on the enhancement of athletes performance as well as helping people who want to improve their overall health and fitness. 

My goal as a sport scientist is to help athletes increase their specific fitness components being agility, endurance, balance, speed, strength, and power, put in place the preventative measures to decrease the chance of injuries occurring and in the situation of an injury, provide athletes with rehabilitation programs to allow them to have the safest and most efficient method to recovery.

With my theoretical/practical knowledge that I have gained throughout my studies at Victoria University, combined with my previous experiences of being a high level athlete, I have the required skills and knowledge to advance athletes athletic development and to provide athletes with quality services for all who are looking to have a greater advantage to be successful in their respective sporting field.
