My research focuses on how age, sex, and hormonal status interact to determine physiological function in health and disease.

Examples of our work include studies of how the menstrual cycle and menopause influence central nervous system function in healthy females, as well as females with multiple sclerosis; as well as studies of how the physiological responses to exercise differ between males and females.

Currently my work is funded by research councils (BBSRC), charities (MS Society) and industry, and our group is made up of postgraduate students, Ph.D candidates, and postdoctoral researchers. 

I am currently an Assistant Professor in Exercise Physiology having completed my Ph.D at Northumbria University in 2020. Before moving to Northumbria, I completed my undergraduate and masters degrees at the University of Brighton.

My research focuses on how age, sex, and hormonal status interact to determine physiological function in health and disease, and our group is currently made up of postgraduate students, Ph.D candidates, and postdoctoral resarchers.

I primarily teach on the BSc Sport and Exercise Science and MSc Strength and Conditioning degrees on modules such as Fundamentals of Human Physiology and Physiology of Strength and Conditioning.

I am a co-lead of the Women's Sport and Wellbeing Interdisciplinary Research Theme.

I am also the Theme Lead for Human, Environmental, and Exercise Physiology within the Physiological Society.
