Biography

I joined the Evidence Synthesis Team of PenCLAHRC (Exeter Medical School) in April 2012. The key purpose of my post is to lead and support evidence synthesis and systematic reviews on the wide variety of topics being taken forward within the current PenCLAHRC. Prior to joining PenCLAHRC, I worked at the School of Human Movement Studies at the University of Queensland, Australia, as a Senior Research Fellow/Lecturer, working with colleagues in occupational therapy, pedagogy, physiotherapy and public health on physical activity and health related research with children and young people. I also taught undergraduate level courses related to ‘nutrition, physical activity and health’.
