Profile
I completed my Sports Therapy degree in 2017 at University College Birmingham. I was then successful in becoming a graduate teaching assistant, working with the higher education Sports Therapy staff and the further education Sport staff, which eventually led to a full-time lecturing position.
In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I work closely with the Marketing team, organising events and taster days for schools and colleges, and also at student recruitment events such as UCAS fairs.
As a sports therapist, I have worked for a semi-professional football team in Derby, helping the coaching team during pre-season screening testing, health and wellbeing, and injury management.
I regularly see private patients at local sports clinics, and work for private organisations and charities, providing treatment and consultations at events.
