I graduated from the University of York with a BEng in Electronic Engineering (2.1) in 2018, where I was awarded the Miller Fish Prize for a dissertation project with outstanding public impact, focused on designing an accessible secondary science teaching resource. I went on to complete a PGCE in Secondary Science at the University of York in 2020, followed by an MSc in Clinical Science at King’s College London in 2024. I also successfully completed the Scientist Training Programme (STP) in 2024, including passing the Independent Assessment of Clinical Competence (IACC).
I am currently working as a Clinical Scientist within the Barnsley Assistive Technology Team, a multifaceted role combining patient-facing assessments, access-to-technology provision, service development, and research. Alongside this, I mentor several trainees on the STP across the UK and work on a programme of educational outreach for schools, reflecting my strong commitment to education and professional development.
During my STP training, I contributed to the development of an accessible gaming service in Oxford. As an avid gamer, I have a particular interest in enhanced computer access and the role of accessible gaming in improving quality of life. I am also passionate about emerging technologies, including 3D printing and EEG-controlled interfaces, and how these innovations can further enhance assistive technology services.
I am a strong advocate for collaborative working and actively seek opportunities to learn from and contribute to local and national multidisciplinary networks. I am equally passionate about teaching and have provided educational support to students across a range of healthcare disciplines and NHS trusts.
