About

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Nursing and Midwifery and serve as the Assistant Programme Leader for the FdSc Nursing Associate Apprenticeship and FdSc Nursing Associate Apprenticeship (Online) programmes. I'm a Specialist Community Sexual Health Nurse with experience working across both NHS and Higher education.

I joined the university in 2018 with my PGCet Interprofessional Practice Education, after leaving Integrated sexual health services as a senior contraception and sexual health nurse position which I had been for 16 years.
