I qualified as a chartered physiotherapist in UL in 2008 and worked in many settings in the private and public sector prior to commencing work in UL in 2013 in a practice education role. I am now a Senior Lecturer in Respiratory and Cardiovascular Physiotherapy, and have taught on numerous modules across both the undergraduate and pre-qualification MSc Physiotherapy programmes.

My research area of interest are split between injury surveillance in elite athletes and dance, and physical activity in people with chronic disease. I am the co-founder of the SingStrong project, which is a clinically-based singing and breathing retraining programme for people with chronic respiratory disease.

I am also dedicated to excellence in teaching and hold an MA in Teaching, Learning and Scholarship in Higher Education. I am a previous winner of both the UL Individual Teaching Excellence Award and the Shannon Consortium Teaching Excellence Award.

I am a member of the HRI and a founding member of the Physical Activity for Health Research Cluster.
