Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of New England, with expertise in physical performance, injury risk, and data-driven approaches in applied human sciences. I have recently completed my PhD at Macquarie University, where my research focused on predicting military physical performance and injury risk using machine learning techniques. My academic background includes a Master of Research from Macquarie University and a Master of Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning) from Edith Cowan University. I hold professional accreditation with the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA Level 2) and Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). My research and teaching are driven by a strong interest in optimising health, performance, and injury prevention across athletic and occupational populations.

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.
