I am registered as a Dignostic Radiographer with the Health and Care Profesions Council. Having a keen interest in bone health, it is fitting that I am the facility manager of the Universities DXA suite. During my employment at the University I have been able to build the facility into a centre which is is able to support external partners in the NHS and elite sports in order to forefilling their DXA requirements, work on several research projects, and develop undergraduate placement opportunties within the facility. In 2017, at the University of Wolverhampton's Vice Chancellors Awards for staff excellence, I was runner up with the team for 'Contribution to the University's presence' and winner of the 'Innovation or initiative of the year'. 

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA).
