I am a Lecturer in Child Nursing at Buckinghamshire New University, where I currently serve as Field Lead for Pre-registration Child Nursing students and Recruitment Lead for Pre-Registration Nursing & Midwifery students. My academic and clinical expertise spans child health, maternal mental health, and infant feeding.

I am actively engaged in scholarly writing and have contributed to chapters on medicines management in collaboration with colleagues from adult and mental health nursing. Additionally, I co-authored a chapter on cells in the human body with a fellow child nursing specialist. To further enhance my academic practice, I have commenced an MSc in Medical and Healthcare Education.

Alongside my academic role, I maintain clinical practice as a bank pre-assessment and day surgical children’s nurse in the private sector. I am also expanding my specialist skills in infant feeding, having qualified as an Infant Feeding Coach with the Infant Feeding Academy in September 2022 and recently begun training as a Tongue Tie Assessor.

Before joining Buckinghamshire New University in 2021, I worked as a Health Visitor at Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust. My educational background includes a BSc (Hons) in Children’s Nursing and a Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (Health Visitor) qualification, both from Buckinghamshire New University.
