Dedicated and passionate sports nutritionist with a lifelong commitment to football. As a semi-professional athlete, I have a deep understanding of the unique nutritional needs of football players. I have completed my degree in Nutrition and Exercise Science, which equips me with the latest knowledge and research to optimise athletic performance.
Throughout my athletic career, I secured a scholarship that propelled my skills and knowledge, allowing me to work collaboratively with athletes at various levels, from professionals to aspiring young talents. I have successfully developed tailored nutrition plans and strategies that enhance performance and promote recovery, ensuring athletes achieve their peak potential. I am currently studying a MSC in dietetics which will be completed in December.
Giving me a greater knowledge not only in optimsing perfromance but also clinical health. My goal is to contribute my expertise as a sports nutritionist and dietetics at a football club, where I can leverage my experience and passion for both the sport and nutrition to help players elevate their game, achieve their fitness aspirations but managing health complications.
Lead Performance Nutritionist - Muscle & Mind
(2023-01)
As the lead performance nutritionist at Muscle and Mind, I specialise in providing tailored nutritional strategies to athletes across a diverse array of sports, including bodybuilding, football, marathons, boxing, and more. My role goes beyond standard dietary advice; I focus on optimising each athlete's performance through an individualised approach that considers their unique needs, goals, and the demands of their sport. I have more than 3 years' experience working with younger athletes achieving personal goals.
My work begins with a comprehensive assessment of each athlete's current dietary habits, health status, and performance goals. This involves:
Healthcare Support (Dietetics) - Clinical and Healthcare Settings
(2025-01 - 2027-12)
I have gained valuable experience within clinical and healthcare settings that has strengthened my interest in pursuing a Master's in Dietetics. I have supported patients with daily care needs, including assistance with meals and monitoring dietary intake in line with individual care plans. This has given me insight into the importance of nutrition in recovery, particularly for patients with complex medical conditions such as malnutrition risk, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders.
I have also observed the work of multidisciplinary healthcare teams, including dietitians, which has helped me understand how evidence-based nutritional care is applied in practice. These experiences have developed my communication skills, professionalism, and understanding of patient-centred care, while also shaping my interest in how clinical nutrition principles can be applied beyond hospital settings, particularly in sports nutrition, where tailored dietary strategies support performance, recovery, and injury rehabilitation in physically active individuals.
Sports Performance Assessments (Undergraduate) - University of Lancashire
(2021-01 - 2024-06)
During my undergraduate degree in Sports Nutrition and Exercise Science, I conducted a range of applied sports performance assessments using methods such as VO₂ max testing, lactate sampling, and power output measurements to evaluate physiological responses to exercise. I analysed lactate levels pre- and post-exercise to assess anaerobic capacity and recovery efficiency, while also measuring changes in power output to determine performance adaptations over time. In addition, I implemented and evaluated hydration strategies, recovery protocols, and supplementation approaches to investigate their impact on performance optimisation.
These practical experiences involved calculating recovery needs based on physiological data, allowing me to critically assess how targeted nutritional and exercise interventions can enhance athletic performance and recovery outcomes. These assessments were carried out using a range of specialist sports science equipment, including metabolic carts for VO₂ max testing, lactate analysers and capillary blood sampling kits for lactate measurement, cycle ergometers and treadmills for controlled exercise testing, and wattbikes and force plates to assess power out
