My background is in sociology and public health, and my research interests focus on reducuing health inequalities and preventing violence against women and girls.

I deliver public health programmes designed to equip healthcare and social care professionals with the skills to lead and foster innovation within their organisations. I am responsible for curriculum design and review, coordinating modules, and overseeing the evaluation of student performance to provide feedback that supports ongoing improvements in the learning experience. I am currently pursuing a Professional Doctorate in Public Health.
