About

I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2009 from Sheffield Hallam University and worked locally in the NHS in different settings before specialising in critical care and surgery.  I started teaching in Higher Education at the University in 2015 as an Associate Lecturer and in 2017 became the first Lecturer Practitioner working in acute care working in Sheffield.  I moved into a permanent role at the University as a Lecturer and completed my Post-graduate certificate in Teaching.  More recently I have completed an MSc in Advancing Professional Practice.

I am passionate about leading and driving the Undergraduate physiotherapy curriculum and the profession forward.  I have experience of teaching across the physiotherapy programmes and more widely across the allied health professions curricula in our integrated care curriculum.  I have an interest in the diversity of the physiotherapy profession and I am involved in a number of projects and research which aims to explore the experiences of minority ethnic students joining the physiotherapy workforce.  I continue to practice in a private capacity seeing patients with complex cardiovascular respiratory problems.
