Biography

My work history features a mix of Director level business experience and academic experience. My first career after studying English at Leeds University was in advertising and marketing; I worked in agencies principally on brand development and strategic planning. After experiencing some issues with allergies, I retrained and became a nutritional therapist registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNCH) and a nutritionist registered with the British Association of Applied Nutrition and lifestyle Medicine (BANT). BANT made me a fellow in May of 2023. I am also on the editorial board of the Nutritional Medicine Institue Journal. I worked in private practice and on several community health projects in London before starting my academic career at the University of Worcester in January 2008.

Engagement

I am a Public Engagement and Involvement Champion for the Centre of Medical Education in the School of Medicine.
