Lecturer profile

"I’ve been a professional athlete and I nowwant to share my passion and experience with future generations to develop healthy behaviours and to move more. Outdoor education has recently been made a compulsory part of the curriculum, so we decided to build our first ever outdoor classroom on campus. Through my own unique experiences, I have witnessed the power of PE and sport first-hand. I want to share these experiences

with my students and help to shape our future sports

practitioners – who will have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of our young people."
