Tash completed her undergraduate degree in Health, Nutrition and Exercise at the University of Bedfordshire in 2021. This accredited course enabled her to become a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr). After graduating from her BSc, she went on to complete her MSc in Exercise as Medicine at Loughborough University in 2022.
In October 2022, Tash started her role as a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant in Clinical Exercise Physiology at Loughborough University. Alongside this role, she is completing part-time doctoral research in hip and knee prehabilitation. In March 2024, Tash was awarded her Associate Fellow of Advance HE (AFHEA).
Tash’s research interests involve improving individuals’ physical and mental health through active lifestyles. This includes promoting healthy behaviours through exercise and physical activity adherence and reducing sedentariness. Her previous research projects have been on the effects of prehabilitation, and the impact exercise has on mental wellbeing.
Tash’s doctoral and current research is investigating whether exercise before hip and knee arthroplasty is beneficial on both patient and clinical outcomes.
