About me...

From a childhood in Karate, to a teenage obsession with Boxing, by interest in sport propelled me into a career in health, fitness and nutrition. I trained to be a personal trainer in 2002, gained my Sports Science Degree in 2006, my Master's Degree in Sports Nutrition in 2008 and my Post-Graduate Diploma in Dietetics in 2013. I have worked in several of the country's largest heath and fitness organisations in both the public and the private sectors, including BUPA, Nuffield Health, the NHS and have provided specialist one to one services to clients in nutrition and personal training for over a decade.

During this time, I have picked up many additional qualifications within the fitness industry, including the highly coveted writing exercise prescriptions for clients with chronic health conditions accolade.

In addition to my private work, I currently work as a Clinical Dietitian for Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, advising the medical teams how to manage the nutrition and hydration of patients with a variety of acute and chronic medical conditions.

September 2017 has seen me gain accreditation with the highly prestigious Sports & Exercise Nutrition Register of the British Dietetic Association in recognition of my qualifications and experience practicing in Sports Nutrition.
