I am an Exercise and Health Physiologist within the School of Health Sciences and have been a lecturer at Liverpool Hope since 2000.  I have a PhD in Paediatric Exercise Physiology from Liverpool John Moores University entitled "Physical activity, physical fitness, HbA1c and skin microvascular reactivity in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes". I also have a PG.Cert. in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education and have been a Fellow of the HE Academy since 2004.

My main specialism is exercise physiology and health. I am research active and have presented my research nationally and internationally. My research interests are the vascular and metabolic responses to chronic training. I am the Subject Lead for Human Biology/Biological Sciences, the PGR co-ordinator for Science, chair of the School of Health Sciences Research Committee and level lead (year 3) on the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science. My teaching and both postgraduate and undergraduate dissertation supervision typically focuses on my specialisms; exercise and health, vascular and cardiometabolic.
