About
As a former professional student, I’m obsessed with learning, growing, and challenging myself. I’ve always been drawn to crossing disciplines, exploring unfamiliar territory, and finding connections between ideas that might not obviously belong together.
I bring much of the same mindset to sport. As an athlete, I’m constantly looking for that next level of performance, whether physical, mental, or simply finding the 1% that makes me or the people around me better. That combination of curiosity and competitiveness has shaped my career too. I want to understand why something works, find where it can be improved, and then see whether I can make it better.
That’s a large part of why sport, data, and research fit together so naturally for me. My PhD research focused on flow and performance in sport, and the ideas I studied academically have continued to influence how I approach problems professionally. I’m not only interested in measuring performance but also in identifying the conditions and behaviors associated with optimal performance, recognizing meaningful patterns as they emerge, and exploring whether those patterns can help us understand what happens next.
Having a diverse background means I often approach problems from perspectives that don’t fit neatly within a single discipline. I tend to do my best work at the point where I understand enough to ask useful questions, but there is still something genuinely unknown left to explore. That intersection, between established knowledge and uncharted territory, is where I’m most at home and produce my biggest breakthroughs.
