I started my career as a registered nurse after completing a Diploma in Nursing at St Bartholomew School of Nursing, City University in 2005. I spent a few years working in Acute Medical/Surgical wards and A&E, and continued my education pathway in a BSc in Cardiorespiratory Care, before moving to Critical Care at West Middlesex University Hospital. I specialised in the Critical Care Outreach Team at King’s College Hospital, after completing my MSc in Advanced Practice in Critical Care in 2015.

In 2018, I was appointed as a Lecturer Practitioner in Intensive Care at UWL teaching on the ITU course. I had a joint appointment at the London Northwest Healthcare Trust as the Lead in Education in Intensive Care Nursing, where I introduced the in-house Intensive Care Adult course with UWL partnership during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the completion of the Academic Professional Apprenticeship,

I currently work as a Senior Lecturer in Advanced Clinical Practice and the Course Lead in the Advanced Clinical Practitioner Degree Apprenticeship (L7) and the MSc in ACP-direct entry (L7).

My special interests are Critical Care, Education and Career Development in Nursing.
