My passion for fairness, inclusivity and respect has guided my clinical research and academic career. I’m highly motivated individual, and an adept network builder who has shown innovative problem-solving abilities in leading programmes, modules and course designs and assessments. I have consistently yielded positive student outcomes through innovative teaching and assessment methods I employ to engage students in lifelong learning to achieve high level transferable skills and transform their professional lives and careers. My PhD in Psychology and MSc in Nursing Education secured my skills as a methodologist in clinical research and developed a deep understanding around clinical research methods and methodologies particularly around research in workforce intelligence and workforce transformation. With my extensive academic leadership experience and research expertise I have honed my mentoring and coaching skills as a senior academic leader, PGR supervisor and practice assessor, coach, and consultant I foster a culture of clinical supervision and assessment for lifelong learning, in an inclusive learning environment with effective engagement of practice partner stakeholders and deliver outstanding results for students and staff. As an End Point Assessor (EPA) for Advanced Clinical Practice Apprenticeship for the University of Leeds and PGR supervisor and Coach I take a collaborative approach which defines my leadership style both in academia, research but as a consultant, coach and mentor with a proven track record of successful outcomes  across diverse services and departments in dynamic environments.
