Affiliations
I am a keen ultra-marathon runner, with a deep appreciation for the discipline, resilience, and strategic mindset the sport demands. This passion extends into my professional life, where I have a particular interest in the prevention and management of running-related injuries. My experience as both an athlete and a clinician gives me a unique perspective on performance, recovery, and long-term athletic health. I also enjoy exploring new trails, strength training and competing in Hyrox competitions!
