TEACHING & SUPERVISION SUMMARy

I am a committed teacher who aims to engage and challenge students from inside and outside the sport programme. I am particularly focused on illustrating where research intersects with industry and community actions and behaviours. My teaching involves practical contexts where students can brainstorm and trial solutions to current issues in the sport, physical activity and active recreation environments.
