Recent external roles

Prior to working at the University of Cumbria, I was involved in Sport Performance Talent Identification Programmes. I am qualified as a Level 4 High Performance Coach for Athletics (Middle and Long Distance) with over 20 years coaching experience. I'm also a Coach Education Tutor for Sports Coach UK and involved with Disability Sport. I have competed and coached in athletics, equestrian events and rowing but now it's all about taking part, having fun, keeping fit and encouraging others to do so too. Previously I was an external advisor for Sport and Exercise degree validations at Southampton Solent University and Hull College.
