ABOUT ME
Being a life long athlete, along with my continued interest for sport performance, this has led me to evolve, develop, and grow a strong passion for the world of sport performance, athlete development, and rehabilitation.
With these passions in line, I have gained a deeper interest into the world of academia, research, data analysis, and sport science.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy watching sports with family and friends, exploring the sceneries nature has to offer, reading, and supporting those within my circle who support me.
