Intro

Hi! I'm Greg, a 4th year Kinesiology student at the University of Waterloo. I am passionate about integrating data and sports science to improve athletic performance & reduce injury risk. Check out this study that I did about the Indiana Pacers .

I have experience as a data analyst and worked on several projects with Canada Basketball and the Defence Research and Development Department of Canada. More details about my diverse work experiences can be found here.

I enjoy basketball, swimming and soccer. Let's connect!
