Professional History
I first started in the fitness industry in 2017, working as a group fitness instructor at a women’s only functional training gym. In 2019, I started my bachelor degree in Exercise and Sport Sciences before starting as a personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach, and CrossFit coach in 2020. I joined the Vector Health team at the start of 2021 as a Performance Coach and transitioned to an Accredited Exercise Scientist after completing my degree.
I have a particular interest in women’s health and fitness, particularly sports management through adolescence and training women through and past menopause. Through my experience in the industry, I have also developed a strong passion for nutrition which has lead me to pursue accreditation as a Sports Nutritionist and post-graduate study.
Interests within and outside of work:
Outside of work you will usually find me in the gym, working on my own strength and fitness goals, or at home with my dog!
