Profile

Since joining the University of Sheffield in 2014, I have collaborated on a variety of multidisciplinary research projects across a range of health issues, including stroke and aphasia rehabilitation, public involvement in research, and palliative and end of life care.  

I was awarded a Stroke Association Postgraduate Fellowship in 2014 and completed my PhD in the School of Health and Related Research in 2019. My thesis was an evaluation of the intervention fidelity of self-managed computerised speech and language therapy for people with aphasia post-stroke.

I joined the Department of Oncology and Metabolism in 2021 to contribute to research projects around palliative and end of life care.

Research interests

My research interests are focused on working with patients, carers and healthcare providers in order to understand their experiences of engaging with healthcare services and health technology with the ultimate goal of improving service delivery. Methodologically, my experience is in qualitative and mixed methods research.
