• PhD Paediatric Exercise Science, Liverpool John Moores University
• BSc Human Movement Science, The University of Liverpool

I was Dean of the School of Sport, Health and Social Sciences at Southampton Solent University 2015-2018, Associate Dean (Quality) in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at York St John University from 2008-2015, Associate Head of Department at Edge Hill University from 2001 to 2008 and started my teaching career at The University of Liverpool in 1997. During these roles I led strategic initiatives related to enhancing the student experience, improving student success and introduction of new curriculum areas such as nursing, biomedical science and sports therapy.

I have worked on partnerships with NHS trusts and other organisations of flexible curricula and apprenticeships to support the development of people and workforce needs, including leading a HEFCE funded degree apprentice development project.

My research interests can be broadly classified as applied mixed-methods interdisciplinary research in relation to physical activity and wellbeing in young people. My research outputs focus on young people, physical activity and wellbeing and I am keen to maintain the applied nature of my research to impact positively on society. I engage in a range of professional research related activities including regularly acting as a referee for peer-reviewed journals. I have supervised several students on post-graduate awards and have PhD completions.
