Jennifer is a Lecturer in Exercise and Sports Science within the School of Science and Technology at the University of New England (UNE).

Since 2018, she has taught across multiple areas including human physiology, pathophysiology, clinical assessment and technical skills, professional skills, exercise prescription for healthy populations, adapted physical activity, and neurological rehabilitation. Jennifer has held teaching roles at the University of Queensland, Torrens University, and UNE, and currently teaches in occupational rehabilitation, telehealth, and work integrated learning.

Jennifer’s clinical background includes experience in hospital rehabilitation settings, private EP clinics and performance-focused training programs for individuals with disabilities. She is currently completing her PhD, with research focused on para sport, training load, neuromuscular fatigue, and rehabilitation in para-athletes. Her work has been published in leading journals, including the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
