- Profile
-
I joined the University in September 2014, providing administrative support across a variety of medical research trials. I have a background in administration and customer service, having worked in both the US and the UK. In addition, I have been creating and facilitating staff development courses since 2016.
I obtained my BA in English in the US before moving to the UK in 2009, where I completed my MA in Creative Writing at Newcastle University in 2010.

- 'Supporting Blind/Visually Impaired Patients in Healthcare' (School of Nursing & Midwifery) - In October 2017 I was asked to design and facilitate a bespoke session aimed at undergraduate/postgraduate nursing students. This session sat within the Term 2 Communication module and focused on supporting blind/visually impaired patients in a healthcare environment (i.e. hospitals, care homes, GP practices, etc.).

- Talking Group for Blind/Visually Impaired Students - Working in conjunction with the University's Disability & Dyslexia Support Team, I facilitated a Talking Group for Blind/Visually Impaired Students once a month. This Group was meant to act as a peer support group and provided a place where blind/visually impaired students could share ideas, experiences, and tips to help assist one another during their studies.
