Research Officer

I have been working on the ENJOY project as an Exercise Physiologist for the past 2 years. As part of the ENJOY team, we’ve successfully completed exercise programs using the senior exercise parks across 3 different sites in Melbourne.

I’ve also been involved in the delivery of workshops for allied health and council staff in safe use of the exercise parks.

I am currently assisting in planning for the expansion of the ENJOY project.
