I completed my PhD within the Leicester Biomedical Research Centre in 2020 which took a multidisciplinary approach to examining sedentary behaviour in individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. I then undertook a postdoctoral role at Loughborough University examining ways to reduce sedentary behaviour within primary care, predominantly through the implementation of sit-stand desks. In February, 2023, I re-joined Leicester Lifestyle and Health Research Group as a Research Associate, with a wide focus on lifestyle behaviours and their interaction effects in the prevention/management of chronic diseases.
