I'm a Performance Nutritionist and Sports Scientist with experience supporting athletes from grassroots to elite level across India, the US and the UK. My background spans physiotherapy, an MSc in Applied Exercise Physiology (Columbia University), a Diploma in Performance Nutrition (IOPN), and I am currently completing a PhD in Sport and Exercise Nutrition at Edinburgh Napier University, focusing on nutrition behaviours in Scottish youth football.

In practice, I work through my online consultancy, Jefferson Performance, supporting athletes in sports such as football, combat sports, athletics, cycling, triathlon and CrossFit. My approach is food-first, evidence-informed and behaviour-focused, with particular interest in low energy availability, RED-S, menstrual health, and weight-making practices in combat and weight-category sports.

I enjoy working collaboratively with coaches, parents and multidisciplinary teams, translating science into realistic strategies that fit athletes lives and environments, and helping them build confident, sustainable fuelling habits for performance and long-term health.
