My work bridges high-performance sport, exercise science, psychology, health promotion, and cultural practice. Through research, coaching, speaking, and community engagement, I explore how movement can strengthen wellbeing, identity, resilience, and human connection.

  • 17 years of Bharatanatyam study and professional performance
  • Representation on the Elite Olympic boxing pathway
  • Academic scholarship across psychology, sport, exercise, and health.
