Profile

I completed my degree in Anatomy and Human Biology at the University of Liverpool, I then obtained my PhD in Cardiac Physiology from the University of Leeds. During my postdoctoral career at Leeds I have been supported by a number of British Heart Foundation project grants studying the role of the cardiac caveolae in response to beta-adrenergic stimulation and mechanical stretch

I was appointed as a teaching fellow at the University of Leeds at the start of 2020. I have an interest in student education, and how students engage in reflections during their time at University.
