About

I joined the mental health nursing team at Sheffield Hallam in March 2022. Before this I worked at the University of Bedfordshire teaching on the bachelor of mental health nursing course. I was awarded FHEA after completing a post graduate certificate in higher education. 

I qualified as a nurse in Melbourne and have worked in several clinical settings including a young people’s mental health inpatient unit (Orygen health), an adult acute inpatient unit and an adult community team. I have been fortunate to have worked across two countries in that time and with excellent mentors.

I teach on the bachelor and masters pre-registration courses in mental health nursing. In terms of teaching philosophy, I aim to have active classes which are inclusive. I am particularly interested in the co-production of mental health teaching with service users.
