She completed her BSc degree in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Brighton in 2014. She then went on to complete her PhD entitled "Physiological and inflammatory responses to UK Fire Service Instructors' working practices" at the University of Brighton in 2018. During her PhD Dr Watkins also performed the role of Technical Instructor and Visiting Lecturer at Brighton. Currently, Dr Watkins is working on research projects investigating inflammation and contaminant levels in firefighters and the impact of the menstrual cycle and menopause on heat tolerance.
PhD, Environmental Physiology, 2014 - 2018, University of Brighton
BSc (Hons), Sport and Exercise Science, 2011 - 2014, University of Brighton
Dr Watkins' main research interests cover the consequences of the occupational demands of firefighting and exercise perfomed in extremely hot environments. Specifically, this includes: systemic inflammation of fire service instructors, the association between exposure types and contaminants, cardiac event risk, and the impact of the menstrual cycle and menopause on heat tolerance.
