I completed my Bachelor of Exercise Science and Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Griffith in 2006. After graduation I worked clinically within Queensland Health since 2007, both in Bundaberg and at The Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane. I also completed a brief period working for the NHS in the UK. Throughout my full-time clinical years I spent most of my time within the acute wards of the hospitals doing cardiorespiratory physiotherapy and in particular Critical Care/Intensive Care. In 2013 I joined the CQUniversity Physiotherapy course. Since 2013 I have developed both the cardiorespiratory and clinical education curriculums of the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) course. In, 2016 I completed a Graduate Certificate in Tertiary Education, and currently I am completing my PhD in Exertional Dyspnea.
