I am an associate professor of Physiotherapy, head of physiotherapy, and research lead for the School of Health and Social Care Professions. In addition to being part of the School of Health and Social Care Professions' leadership team, I lead the Physical Activity Research Group. My teaching portfolio includes research and Evidence-Based Practice in healthcare, neurosciences and long-term conditions.

Before joining Buckinghamshire New University in 2020, I had worked at three other higher education institutions: as an assistant professor of physiotherapy at Coventry University, as programme director for the MSc Physiotherapy pre-registration course at St Mary’s University, and as a senior lecturer in physiotherapy at London South Bank University.

I studied for my PhD in Healthcare at Oxford Brookes University, and my specialist area of research is physical activity. My primary research focus is physical activity amongst individuals with disabilities, and socially disadvantaged people, particularly those from ethnic minority groups. I also have an interest in diversity and inclusion. I am currently working alongside other academics looking to enhance awareness and understanding of implicit racial bias and its impact on pre-registration student supervision. My current physical activity research focuses on physical activity behaviours in special populations, including individuals with intellectual disabilities, neurological conditions, and Long COVID.

I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, and in 2022, I was appointed as a partner with the Health and Care Professions Council, becoming a Lead Partner in 2023.

I have several years of experience managing physiotherapy clients in various settings, including acute, rehabilitation, and community environments. I have also worked in various countries, including Nigeria for four years, Seychelles for two years, and the UK for the last 24 years. As a clinical physiotherapist, I was dedicated to promoting physical activity among diverse client groups. I set up and managed exercise classes for a variety of individuals, including those at risk of falls, neurological patients, and adults with intellectual disabilities.

One of my career highlights to date is receiving a Commendation from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (2024) for developing a simulation placement that enhances students' knowledge, attitudes, and performance in practice.
