About

I joined the Mental Health Nursing lecturing team at Sheffield Hallam University in 2019. In practice I have worked predominantly with adults experiencing an acute episde of a mental health problem in both inpatient and community settings. My current responsibilities include teaching, recruitment activities, link lecturing and academic advising. My teaching and research interests include acute and crisis mental health care and exercise for mental health and wellbeing. I am also interested in wellbeing issues affecting student nurses and the wider healthcare workforce. I value diversity and inclusivity within higher education and healthcare.
