I was appointed as a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University after completing a PhD, followed by a 5-year postdoctoral position in neuroscience at Sheffield Hallam University. I teach a wide range of subjects including anatomy and physiology, cell biology and biochemistry. My main research area is neuroimmunology with a specific interest in multiple sclerosis.

I was appointed initially at Sheffield Hallam University as a research technician, during which time I studied for a PhD part time. I then worked as a postdoctoral researcher for 5 years. My work was investigating the role of the ADAMTSs in multiple sclerosis from which I published several research papers and presented my work at national and international conferences. I was then appointed a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University.
