Biography
I am originally from Australia where I gained my degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Queensland. I completed an MSc at the University of Birmingham in 2005 and completed my PhD at the University of Warwick in 2011. I worked for 13 years as a physiotherapist in the NHS before taking up a post at the University of Warwick as a Research Physiotherapist in 2004. I have worked on several large RCTs investigating severe ankle sprains, whiplash injuries and rheumatoid arthritis.
