Profile: I joined the CTRU in October 2021 as a Research Assistant after graduating with my MSc in Nutrition with Public Health Management from Sheffield Hallam University. I also have a BSc in Psychology from the University of Sheffield. Prior to this, I worked as a Care Navigator at the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, helping to provide person-centred care to patients with suspected cancer.

I currently work as the trial manager on the PRAISE Trial Pain Relief After Instrumented Spinal surgEry).

I have previously worked on a number of studies, including EXPERTS-ALS, FIRST, CONTACT-GAD, AWARE-IBD, RHABIT, PITSTOP and OptiCALS.

I also regularly teach on the HAR6030 module Introduction to Research Methods.
