About

I am a qualified audiologist with a dual RCCP and HCCP registration as an NHS clinical audiologist and hearing aid dispenser. Recently I have been appointed as a part-time lecturer to deliver audiological modules and clinical sessions to undergraduate students. I will also be working in the Health and Wellbeing academy, to provide hearing assessments and rehabilitation to clients.

I attained my audiology degree at Swansea University, and I am enrolled to start the PgCert course to enhance my academic skills. By working in the NHS and University I will integrate my clinical and teaching skills across my modules.

I aim to provide students with relevant and up to date research & procedures within the field of audiology.

My interests in audiology lie within the field of genetics, syndromic hearing losses, and sport related hearing impairments.
