Tess recently graduated from the University of Queensland. Seeing Morgan's passion first-hand and learning about the benefits of exercise for people with cancer drives her own passion to help people living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis. She is passionate about using movement to empower those from all walks of life throughout their healthcare journey.
