I am always interested to learn and share with people passionate about PA!
My favourite way to be active on the weekend:
Walking my favourite trails in the National Park…bonus points if there’s a swimming spot along the way!
How you became involved in PA:
I’ve been active all my life, it’s a great way to connect with people and a great tool for social change. It gave me the confidence to pursue a career in Exercise Physiology and now, Public Health to be able to create environments that support other women and girls to find their voice through PA.
This is what I do…
I wear a few different hats, I work as a Health Promotion Officer developing, delivering and evaluating physical activity programs. I also work as an Exercise Physiologist in private practice
…so that…
I can work with individuals and communities to support opportunities for good health across the entire health spectrum
