Sebastian joined the team in 2023. His role involves prescribing personalised exercise interventions to cancer patients as well as providing educational support and behavioural coaching sessions. Sebastian's involvement includes being part of the CANFit and CanBenefit projects, lead by Dr. Cindy Forbes. These projects look at how exercise modifies the survival outcomes of people with cancer by delivering remote exercise interventions.
My Sports Science undergraduate motivated me to move from Colombia to the UK back in 2015. Throughout my time in Nottingham, I qualified as a Coach in multiple sports, Personal Trainer and GP referral. I have worked for several years in elite sports including clubs like Norwich City FC and Nova Centurion SC. Alongside being a Researcher, I am a Health and Exercise Consultant, helping a range of people from clinical population to elite athlete achieve their health and performance goals.

I have a strong interest in exercise physiology and using it as a medicine. This includes my current work in Exercise Oncology looking at how exercise can modulate cancer survival outcomes and quality of life. I am also passionate about elite sporting performance. This not only includes enhancing sporting performance but also research around female athlete physiology and addressing the gender gap in sport.
