I am the Associate Head of School for Marketing and Admissions. I am also a lecturer with the occupational therapy team and teach on the MSc Occupational Therapy Pre-registration programme, the MSc Advanced Professional Practice Occupational Therapy programme and the BSc Occupational Therapy programme. 

We were delighted to see our first cohort on the MSc Occupational Therapy Pre-registration programme graduate in September 2016. I supervised Frankie Blow's MSc dissertation on the meaning of surfing. We awarded the Inaugural Lecturers Prize for Contribution to the MSc Occupational Therapy Pre-registration prize to Steph Nocks; and the Catherine Mounter Award for Contribution to Occupational Science to Lana Parker for her dissertation on the meaning of pet ownership to people who are homeless.

I enjoy teaching across all of our occupational therapy programmes, however my main teaching commitments are with the MSc Occupational Therapy Pre-registration programme. We use a wide range of teaching and learning methods and I am particularly interested in experiential education, problem based learning and placements in emerging practice settings. I am also a manual handling trainer.
