Biography

After qualifying as a nurse in 2011, I spent the majority of my clinical practice caring for older adults and the palliative care sector.

My passion for education began with mentoring students in practice, providing clinical teaching sessions and then going on to teach Health and Social Care in further education.

I joined the University of Cumbria in 2020 and have since completed my postgraduate certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
