My background is in education and psychology. I worked as a primary school teacher and as a communications specialist tutor with young adults with learning disabilities, before studying psychology. As a researcher, I have worked with families of children with chronic health and sensory conditions, to explore family perspectives around healthcare. For my PhD, I delivered and evaluated a psychoeducational intervention for children with leukaemia, in a clinical hospital trial.
