MSc; YMCA PTA; Assessor Award (CYQ)

For the past 10 years I have enjoyed working within the world of sport and exercise as both an academic student and within the fitness industry as a personal trainer and fitness manager for Virgin Active.

Academically, my background has been directed towards sport and exercise and sports therapy having completed a BSc (hons) in Sport and Exercise Science and an MSc in Sports Injury Management. I have also undertaken several Central YMCA (CYQ) and Premier Global qualifications in assessor training, sports massage therapy, advanced gym, circuits, fitness assessment, fitness finance and marketing, nutrition and weight management, and fitness training for the older person.

I’m currently completing a part-time PhD in soccer kicking biomechanics and working as a sports massage tutor and a gym assessor. My background and passion for sports massage therapy has enabled me to witness the numerous physical, physiological and psychological benefits that its methods bring. This journey has also enabled me to develop a wide range of skills and experience to help students achieve great results from the sports massage course itself.
