My professional path then led me into nursing, where I worked at UHNM hospital as a stroke nurse, and more recently in an Acquired Brain Injury unit, supporting residents with complex care needs and learning disabilities. I studied at both Manchester Metropolitan University and Keele University, with a strong academic interest in Public Health and sociology—areas that continue to fuel my research and personal development. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, watching sport, and spending time outdoors walking my dog. I’m also a dedicated carer to my cats and love the balance of companionship and care they bring to daily life. As a mother and grandmother, I take pride in the values of compassion, resilience, and lifelong learning, both in my personal and professional life. |
