I am a part time lecturer covering with a primary interest in research methods and in behavioural medicine.
I am also a qualified Psychiatric nurse with over 30 years experience.
I started my journey into higher education as a mature student, following the death of my husband, it's a journey that has taken me on many roads but this is now by far the best.
I enjoy running and wild swimming and have recently taken up paddle boarding. I also enjoy spending time with my two dogs and my new husband.
