Profile
After completing my child nursing degree, I worked as a staff nurse in Accident and Emergency at University Hospitals of Leicester, providing essential care and safeguarding children.
Following on from this I served as a staff nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital, enhancing my cultural competence with international patients.
Before joining University College Birmingham, I worked as a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse for Looked After Children. In this role, I led supervision sessions, provided emotional well-being support, and chaired the Race Equality and Cultural Heritage Network.
In 2024, I transitioned from practice to work as Senior Lecturer and Community Specialist Practice Programme Lead, focusing on guiding students towards success and promoting advanced, therapeutic and inclusive community nursing practice.
