Biography
Jade is a Postdoc Research Fellow at the University of Bradford in the physical activity and healthy childhood within Faculty of Health Studies and Wolfson Centre for Applied Health Research. Jade’s primary research focus at the University is to lead a Sport England funded project to create a Physical Literacy Assessment Tool for education and community-based settings. Jade is the Secretariat for the International Society of Physical Activity and Health.Jade’s research experience within physical activity and health includes measurement, evaluating efficacy and effectiveness of (whole-school) physical activity interventions, often informed by behaviour change, conducting qualitative research (interviews, focus groups, write and draw, meta-syntheses), and translating research into practice in partnership with practitioners. She also has experience running comprehensive engagement programmes, and managing young person champions to work towards co-produced research objectives and dissemination plans.
Jade completed her PhD at Leeds Beckett University in 2020, focused on acute bouts of physical activity and their immediate effect on cognition and academic performance on primary school children.
Previously, she worked at King’s College London coordinating the REACH project which captures young person’s mental health considering social and environmental factors, and more recently exploring the impact of Covid-19. During this role, she managed and coordinated young person community champions working with the research team that provided insights on future research directions and supported in engaging the wider population on research findings.
