I have been a social worker since 2001. My SWE registration number is SW62603.

I have worked in a range of social work roles including in child protection and children with disabilities teams, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Shooting Star Chase Children's Hospice. I have also worked in adult services, setting up and running a project for 'Children In Need' at Princess Alice Hospice, as well as being a community social worker. Between 2018-2022 I was the lead chief assessor for the National Assessment and Accreditation System (NAAS), a National pilot project accrediting children and families social work practitioners and supervisors.

I have worked at the University since 2009 in a variety of roles alongside working in practice. I am a qualified practice educator and practice assessor.

I am also a tutor to students across the social work programmes.
