Nikita is a medical doctor, who recently submitted her PhD investigating the impact of common nutrition and training practices on iron metabolism and bone strength indices in athletes. Prior to commencing her PhD, she was a junior doctor in South Africa, practicing in the public healthcare environment. Her keen interest in sports medicine began as a medical student where she completed her final year elective at the Sport Science Institute of South Africa. Concurrently with her PhD, she is also completing her MPhil in Sport and Exercise Medicine. After recently submitting her doctoral thesis, she is returning to clinical medicine to specialise further.
