Profile

I am a dietitian and nutritionist who is passionate about weight management, diabetes and health inequalities research. Research is focussed primarily on qualitative work including systems evaluation and coproduction methodologies as well as implementation science. My research focusses on the socio-cultural aspects of food and nutrition and whole systems thinking by understanding the lived experience of individuals. I am passionate about ensuring that research is meaningful to the populations involved and that research results in reduction of inequality.

My main teaching roles include lecturing and module leadership at postgraduate level modules and dissertation supervision. I also supervise PhD students.

I am actively involved in research networks such as Yorkshire Obesity Research Alliance (YORA), ShefFood and am the hub lead the Council for Allied Health Professionals Research (CAHPR) Yorkshire & Humber. I also sit on the board of trustees for Darnall Wellbeing.

Qualifications: MSc Advanced Dietetic Practice, MPhil, BSc Food Science, PGDip Dietetics

Research interests: Health and health inequalities, obesity and diabetes.
