I qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) from the University of Strathclyde in 2000 and have extensive experience of clinical work as a Speech and across a range of services in NHS Scotland. I was a Visiting Lecturer on the SLT programme at QMU from 2007, before taking up my full-time position in 2013. My main clinical interests are acquired speech, language, communication and swallowing disorders in adults. I was seconded to Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) in 2010 to pursue my interest in improving participation of patients and the public in the work of NHS Scotland. I currently serve on the Committee of the British Aphasiology Society (BAS).

My clinical research has focused on my interest in understanding the lived experiences of people with acquired speech, language and communication difficulties e.g. the impact of stroke on family caregivers and family relationships; supporting self-management in people living with communication disability. I am also interested in the impact of new technologies on clinical practice with people with aphasia.

I lead the programme of teaching in adult acquired language and communication disorders at basic and more advanced levels in both the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. I also teach on modules related to clinical practice and practice-based learning, professional practice, lifespan development, acquired dysphagia and communication disorders in mental health conditions. I am also a member of the clinical placement team and share responsibility for supporting students in their clinical skills development, as well as SLTs in their role as Practice Educators.
