About me

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health and Social Wellbeing at UWE Bristol, where I teach on the MSc Specialist Community Public Health Nursing programme. I am currently undertaking doctoral research at St. Mary's University, exploring the intersection of Catholicism and healthcare practice through phenomenological inquiry.

Before joining UWE, I had a diverse career across mental health nursing, public health, children's services and NHS corporate services in both the United Kingdom and Australia, in both the public and charity sectors. My professional experience includes working with individuals presenting a high risk of violence and aggression, supporting school-aged children, and contributing to the strategic delivery of healthcare services. Prior to this I read Law at university and worked briefly in accounting.

My research interests centre on integrating the humanities with the health sciences, particularly in order to understand the role of religious faith in healthcare practice, professional identity and the relationship between faith and organisational culture. I also have interests in religion as a social determinant of health, public and professional discourse surrounding overdiagnosis and digital technology in child mental health.

Alongside my academic role, I serve as a Christian Faith Representative at UWE Bristol, providing pastoral support and opportunities for dialogue for students and colleagues who wish to explore matters of faith. For further information, please refer to the UWE Chaplaincy webpage.
