I completed a BSc in Sport Science and English at St Mary’s University College in 2000, and having pursued the Sport and Exercise Psychology routeway within the Sport Science side of my degree, chose to further my study in this area. I undertook my MSc part time in Sport Science following a Sport and Exercise Psychology path, at University College Chichester (UCC). Alongside my studies I worked in the recruitment industry and also did some associate lecturing at UCC in Sport Psychology.

Since graduating from my MSc in 2002 I have worked at the University of Southampton as a Lecturer on both the Sport Studies and Sport Management and Leadership programmes. Following our recent move from the New College Campus to the main Highfield Campus I have also taken on the role of Programme Tutor for Sport Studies.

My main areas of teaching are within Sport and Exercise Psychology, but I also teach a generic first year study skills unit.

I will be away on maternity leave from the end of January 07 till September 07
