- Profile
-
I joined ScHARR in 2015 as a researcher in Health Service Research within the Mental Health Research Unit. I now work as both a University Teacher across a range of Masters programmes in ScHARR as well as continuing my research interests in mental health. Currently, I am the programme deputy director of Masters in Clinical Research and module lead Introduction to Research Methods as well as the Dissertation Lead for Masters in Clinical Research and Masters in Human Nutrition students.
I have worked on a number of research projects within ScHARR. I am currently working on a large-scale project looking at NHS staff retention, using organisation case studies and realistic reviews methodology.
Prior to starting at the University of Sheffield, I worked as a Senior Occupational Therapist in the NHS and voluntary sectors across the UK, specialising in mental health early intervention with young persons. I am registered with the HCPC and a member of the British College of Occupational Therapists (BCOT).
