Mel Hayman : Season 1, Episode 8

CQUniversity Podcast - Greatvine

This week we chat with Head of CQUni's Health Science course and physical activity researcher Dr Melanie Hayman. We hear about growing up in a mining town in Central Queensland and being a 'sporty nerd' at school. We learn about studying at CQUni and becoming a PE teacher, before heading back into academia as a researcher - thanks to the advice of a mentor and mate. Mel tells us about her passion for her Fit4Two project which helps pregnant women engage in physical activity and we learn, although she loves her sport, she simply hates swimming - not so great when that's all you can do when you're injured.
