Studying at Bangor University in 2005, I obtained a Psychology BSc degree, which later brought me to Cardiff in 2012 to study Mental Health Nursing, to progress my career as a Mental Health professional.
Obtaining a First Class Honors degree in Nursing - Mental Health BN, I began my career as a Mental Health Nurse in Cardiff and Vale NHS.
I have worked in a variety of Mental Health wards as well as assessment and rehabilitation units across Cardiff and Vale.
In 2019, I began a new role as a Student Intervention Officer at Cardiff University. There, I was responsible for the assessment, implementation, evaluation and review of students presenting as a risk to self/others whilst studying at Cardiff University.
In June 2022, I began an exciting new role as Student Support Manager in the School of Law and Politics, which brings me to where I am now. The role involves supporting students in managing their mental health and wellbeing whilst studying with us at LAWPL.
