Why did you become an Exercise Physiologist? I became an Exercise Physiologist because I’ve seen firsthand how exercise can change people’s lives. Growing up playing sports and training in the gym, I was often approached by friends and family asking how to overcome injuries or stick with exercise after giving up in the past. Over time, I found myself diving deep into the science of rehabilitation and movement. Through this, I discovered a real passion for helping others move and feel better. That passion ultimately inspired me to pursue exercise physiology as a career. What is your go-to tip for staying active and healthy? The best way to stay healthy and active is to find activities you genuinely enjoy and connect with people who share those interests. It’s perfectly okay not to love every form of exercise; the key is to keep exploring until you find something that clicks. When you do, it won’t feel like a chore, and progress will come naturally. Bonus tip: Once you find what you love, join a club or community around it. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people makes staying active more fun, social, and sustainable. What do you like doing outside of the clinic Outside of work, I enjoy riding my bike to local cafes, playing sports like tennis, rock climbing, and volleyball, or having a quiet night in watching movies with my partner. I’m also a bit of a foodie, so if you have any great restaurant recommendations, let me know because I’m always keen to try something new!

Why did you become an Exercise Physiologist? During my bachelor's, I saw firsthand how an Exercise Physiologist can impact someone's exercise journey. This experience inspired me to pursue Exercise Physiology, so I could become that person someone could rely on and trust with their exercise. I deeply enjoy working with people and encouraging them to achieve their goals. Whether that involves improving their sport performance, rehabilitation after an injury or just moving comfortably and confidently. What is your go-to tip for staying active and healthy? My first go to tip is to just start small whether that be going for a walk after work or taking a moment in the morning to stretch your body. Additionally, choosing exercise that you enjoy and that is individualised to your needs is very important for creating routine and motivation. What do you like doing outside of the clinic? I enjoy a variety of activities, including going to the beach, taking long walks, doing word searches and playing volleyball. I always like being out and about!
