I qualified as a Registered Nurse (Adult) in 1997. Since qualification, I have gained experienced in a range of clinical settings to include acute care, sexual health and community settings. In 2006, I pursued further studies leading to the award of MSc Leadership in Healthcare with qualification as a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse (Health Visiting). Following completion of this award, I was subsequently employed as a health visitor in the northwest region. In 2024, I joined the team at Liverpool John Moores University, having gained university teaching experience across three other higher education Institutions in the United Kingdom. Currently, I am the programme lead for the MSc Nursing degrees. I remain passionate about the key contributions that nursing may have on individuals, communities and the wider society. Additionally, I value the key contributions of our service users and carers in both healthcare and educational contexts. My key areas of interest include Public Health and Leadership.
