Personal profile

Overview

I have worked on collaborative research with UCLAN assessing and measuring (dis)abled riders to amend the sport classification system used by the FEI during the paralympics. 

I have interests in animal behaviour and welfare, particularly horses and the impact of human interaction with them, as well as previous work as an undergraduate in conservation genetics and haplotyping.

  • L3 Foundation Animal Studies
  • L3 Foundation Biological Principles 
  • L4 Animal Genetics

Research and knowledge exchange collaborations

I have recently published a collaborative paper with the FEI (international governing body of equestrian sport) and UCLAN looking to evidence the classification system of para-dressage athletes, alongside colleagues in the sport and equine departments.
