My approach to teaching is grounded in student-centred, inclusive pedagogy that empowers learners to apply knowledge meaningfully in real-world health and rehabilitation contexts. I aim to create a supportive yet intellectually challenging environment where students feel confident to explore, question, and develop their professional identities.

I integrate digital innovation into my practice, particularly through the thoughtful use of artificial intelligence to enhance engagement, personalise feedback, and support assessment literacy. I am also actively involved in designing and evaluating innovative placement models that respond to evolving workforce and learner needs, ensuring graduates are adaptable, reflective, and practice-ready.

As an educator, I am committed to continuous improvement, co-creation with students, and collaboration across disciplines. My goal is to help shape the future of health education by preparing learners not only to thrive in complex clinical settings, but also to lead change in their professions.

I am interested in advancing health and wellbeing through research that addresses real-world challenges in musculoskeletal health, occupational demands, and equitable access to care. My current work explores how footwear impacts health outcomes including musculoskeletal health and psychosocial wellbeing, particularly for individuals who stand for prolonged periods as part of their work or daily lives.

At the heart of my research is a commitment to person-centred enquiry. I focus on developing practical, evidence-based tools and frameworks to support decision-making in clinical, workplace, and policy settings.

Methodologically, I use mixed methods and co-design approaches, bringing together quantitative evidence, qualitative insight, and lived experience. I lead the development of a validated assessment tool that prioritises collaboration with healthcare professionals, industry partners, and communities to ensure the relevance and impact of my work. My research is designed to be inclusive, translational, and responsive to stakeholder needs.
