Overview

I graduated from Hartpury University with an MRes Equestrian Science in 2023 and then became a member of staff as a Junior Lecturer within HE Equine.

My teaching is foucsed around various topics, including equine performance and rehabilitation, anatomy, physiology, performance analysis and academic skills. My research interests also align with these topics. Alongside this, I am currently completing my teaching qualifications through the Academic Professional Apprenticeship with the University of West London. 

I have a mix of both academic and practical experiences within the equine sector. Alongside academic studies, I have actively worked in the industry for a number of years as a competition groom, dressage coach and advanced dressage rider. I was part of the British Equestrian Young Professionals Programme and Hartpury Equine Academy 2022/23. During this time I also completed my UKCC L2 Coaching Certificate through British Dressage.
