About
In 1995 after gaining a first degree in Psychology, I began working for Sheffield Hallam as an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Psychology. At this time I was studying for my PhD. I taught on a variety of courses in Psychology and on the Radiography, Occupational Therapy and Nursing degrees. I was also an Associate Lecturer for Sheffield University Medical School, teaching 'Introduction to Psychology for Medical Students'. Following this I started to work as an Associate Lecturer on the BA Early Childhood Studies and gained a permanent full-time post as Senior Lecturer on this course in 2006. I became the course leader in 2009.
