TEACHING EXPERTISE

I am an experienced educator in the field of physical activity and health teaching into the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science. My teaching emphasises the integration of research evidence into real-world physical activity promotion practice. I am passionate about developing students into evidence-based practitioners who can source, critically evaluate and apply evidence to improve the health of individiuals and populations. I approach to teaching is interactive and applied, encouraging students to think critically, engage with current research, and translate theory into practice to address contemporary public health challenges. 

 

I am currently the course director of the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science. I am available to supervise Honours and PhD students.
