Senior Lecturer in Healthcare Science (Life Science)
I completed my undergraduate degree at University of Sunderland in Healthcare Science – Infection Sciences. Upon graduation, I registered with the HCPC and practiced as a Biomedical Scientist (BMS) in a microbiology department.
I progressed through my career as a BMS with a keen interest in training to become training lead of the department. I completed a Specialist Diploma in Medical Microbiology and master's in Advanced Biomedical Science.
My passion is microbiology, diagnostics, and training. I am keen to spread my passion and give students the same excellent training and experience I gained from the University.
