I am a lecturer in Occupational Therapy and Associate Head of School for Marketing and Admissions. My career spans clinical practice, academia, leadership, and cutting-edge research. I am committed to pioneering advancements in occupational therapy practice particularly in primary care.  I have a deep-rooted passion for occupational science and endeavor to understand the intricate ways in which occupation contributes to the health and wellbeing of communities. I am a doctoral student, nearing completion of my Ph.D., with a research focus on social transformation through occupation, exploring the transformative power of occupation in shaping societies.
As an advocate for experiential learning, I embody a teaching philosophy that values not just theoretical knowledge but also the practical application of skills. This commitment to fostering student development is evident in my dedication to engaging and supporting learners on their educational journey. I was an elected member and Chair of the Board of Occupational Science Europe from 2017 to 2021.  https://os-europe.org/. With the OSE team I was responsible for the highly successful 6th Occupational Science Europe Conference: Everyday Life, Living and Doing in a Changing Society
