I originally came to Loughborough to study for a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science. I stayed at the University to complete a MSc in Exercise Physiology a year later, followed by a PhD investigating the effect of acute exercise and diet manipulations on postprandial metabolism in young people.

I commenced a Post-doctoral Research Associate position at Loughborough in March 2015 as part of the ‘Leicester – Loughborough Diet, Lifestyle and Physical Activity Biomedical Research Unit’.

In April 2017, I continued my role as a Research Associate, and since April 2020 as a Senior Research Associate, contributing to projects aligned to the lifestyle theme of the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre.
