- Course Coordinator & Lecturer, Physiotherapy, Australian Catholic University
I am a Lecturer and Interim Course Coordinator of the Master of Sports and Exercise Physiotherapy program at Australian Catholic University.
I am also a Titled Sports and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with extensive experience treating elite athletes. I have worked and travelled internationally with multiple sports.
I am currently completing a PhD in Medicine and Public Health at The University of Newcastle, Australia. My PhD focus is in the identification of concussion in the National Rugby League Women's Premiership. I have a research interest in injury risk reduction and management of concussion, particularly in female contact and collision sports.
