Personal Statement
Since qualifying as a registered nurse from the University of Liverpool in 2010, I have gained valuable experience working in Accident and Emergency departments within the region. Over time developing an interest in education, making my move to higher education in Sept 2020.

I returned to the University of Liverpool in 2021 to start in the new role of Clinical Simulation Lead. Since then myself and the team have been able to develop the clinical spaces available to students whilst also working with colleagues across the school to create additional simulated learning opportunities. The importance of simulation has been recognised across the university with our team growing allowing us to offer greater student experiences.

Research Overview
My current research interests are around the impact of simulation on student learning.

I am in the process of finishing my masters dissertation, focussing on the use of AI to support students communication skills. Whilst also being involved with colleagues across the school on other research projects related to simulation.
