My specialization within the team is nutrition, although I fulfill many duties including, injury screening, personnel health & performance monitoring, data analysis, equipment management, and more.

As part of my placement to complete my Master's in Applied science I worked for the NZDF in the Human Performance Cell under Dr. (MAJ) Jacques Rousseau, where we aimed to improve the performance of service personnel throughout the NZDF through the core pillars of: Nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Our primary role was in research and development in the Human Performance space, although we fulfilled many other roles such as: conducting unit health assessments (SOZO body composition, sub-max Vo2 testing, finger prick glucose and lipids), resource development, wellness briefs, advising on human performance matters, and physiological monitoring during exercises (upper/lower body fatigue, cognitive fatigue, USG hydration testing, urinary markers).
