About

I have been a radiographer for 34 years and worked in all areas of radiography including projectional radiography, theatres, pain clinic, angiography, CT and MRI.  

Teaching responsibilities

I am a Senior Lecturer in Diagnostic Radiography with a passion for teaching and learning. As well as working at the University, I still work clinically in CT and as a Reporting Radiographer.

I lead modules on both the BSc Diagnostic Radiography and MSc (pre-registration) courses.

Professional interests

My main professional interest is CT and neuro imaging. At the university, I am also keen to improve the learning experience for student radiographers.
