Senior Lecturer in Social Work
My engagement with the University of Sunderland started in 2003 when I enrolled as a part-time student on BA (Hons) Social Work. I graduated in 2007 and worked as a registered Social Worker in Safeguarding Children and Safeguarding Adults Teams across local authorities in the region.
I continued to support the Social Work courses by participating in workshops, teaching sessions, interviewing applicants and as a practice educator to BA Social Work students. It was therefore a privilege as well as an excellent career opportunity to be offered a lecturer's post in September 2017.
Teaching and supervision
As Programme Leader for BA (Hons) Social Work (Integrated Degree Apprenticeship) I support with the development, planning and delivery of this new model for social work education. As a Senior Lecturer, I also teach across BA (Hons) Social Work and BA (Hons) Social Work (Integrated Degree Apprenticeship).
I am personal tutor for Level 4, 5 and 6 students as well as supporting them while on placements.
Research interests for potential research students

Apart from my family, my other passion is Northern Soul – both the culture and the music – and along with my husband and friends, you will regularly find me at local, national and international Northern Soul venues, although my dancing abilities have slowly declined over the years. My husband and I also love travelling – both home and abroad – and love the outdoors. We enjoy nothing more than packing the car up with our walking or camping gear on a weekend and heading off for some fresh air.
I also volunteer with North East Homeless (NEH) registered charity who provide food, clothing, outreach support and advice to not only those who are homeless but also those who are living in poverty in and around the North East.
