After completing an Occupational Therapy degree at Coventry University, I spent 20 years in clinical practice. While initially specialising in working with individuals with an acquired or traumatic brain injury, the majority of my clinical career has been in physical health working with older adults in a variety of settings. Having completed my PhD in Gerontology, I joined York St John in 2015 with the aim to share some of my knowledge and experience and to inspire future generations of occupational therapists. My areas of expertise lie within physical health working with older people in acute, rehabilitation and community settings. I am interested in the pedagogical aspects of teaching and strive to incorporate a range of traditional and innovative teaching and learning experiences to enhance student learning.
