Overview

I joined LSBU in 2011 and I'm an Associate Professor in the School of Applied Sciences. Previously I worked as a researcher in Sport Psychology at Royal Holloway University of London, the German Sport University, and the VU University Amsterdam.

I'm the General Secretary for the European Federation of Sport Psychology (FEPSAC) and a member of the British Association for Sport and Exercise Sciences' (BASES) Public Advisory Board.
