Meet our team of Exercise Physiologists

I became interested in rehabilitation early on in life, after having my own sporting injuries. I since expanded my interest from just sports injuries to chronic disease while studying exercise physiology at UNSW. I continue to play touch football, having represented Australia on multiple occasions. Outside of work and sport I love to travel, eat and aspire to be a professional photographer on the side.
