I am a Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Worcester, specialising in sports nutrition, exercise physiology, and research methods. I completed my PhD at the University of Chichester, where I conducted the first doctoral research examining the effects of New Zealand blackcurrant on physiological responses at rest and during exercise in trained cyclists.

I am an active researcher with a focus on the effects of high-polyphenol supplements on physiological responses and exercise performance, with a particular interest in translating this work into applied practice.

Alongside my academic role, I have worked with athletes including cyclists and runners, and have provided advisory support to the Football Association (FA) on supplementation strategies.

I am an accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist with the Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES) in the research and pedagogy domains. I also contribute to professional practice as a CASES-registered supervisor and reviewer, and as an Academic Associate on the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR).

I welcome opportunities to collaborate, particularly in areas related to exercise physiology, performance nutrition, and applied sport science, and I am always happy to hear from prospective MPhil/PhD candidates.
