Biography

Pronouns she/her.

I work in the Social Work Team at BU and teach on several units including Learning from the Lived Experience and Social Justice.

I have been a qualified social worker since 2011, graduating from Bournemouth University. I worked for around 10 years in statutory drug and alcohol social work and latterly within the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Team, prior to coming to BU.
