My clinical background has been in acute stroke nursing and community nursing before joining SHU in November 2015 as a lecturer. I am currently an Associate Head in the School of Health and Social Care, leading on recruitment, marketing and outreach portfolio for the nursing, midwifery and social work, social care and community studies courses.

Upon qualifying as a registered nurse, I worked in acute stroke services as a staff nurse, sister and clinical educator, before moving into community nursing services. I had always been passionate about educating the student nurses I worked with, and joined SHU in November 2015. Since joining Hallam I have taught students on the BSc and MSc pre-registration nursing courses, whilst also taking on other roles such as a link lecturer, module leader and nursing and midwifery department recruitment lead prior to becoming and Associate Head.
