Summary
Fueled by a deep-seated belief that everyone has the right to a healthy and fulfilling life, I am currently completing my Bachelor's degree in Sport and Exercise Science. My journey has been enriched by practical experiences, from teaching swimming, disability support work to my placement as an Exercise physiologist assistant. These roles have not only honed my skills in developing tailored exercise programs but also deepened my understanding of patient care and rehabilitation.
