I am passionate about preparing physiotherapy students for the complexity and challenges of physiotherapy practice in the 21st century. I research in the education areas of cultural competency, ethical practice and evidence-based practice. My PhD research focus on health care after stroke has continued with collaborations exploring the best way to deliver health care in this area. I strive to integrate digital learning tools to enhance the learning experience for student and teachers.
I enjoy bringing the diversity of my clinical experience into my teaching practice. I have worked as a physiotherapy educator and researcher in the School of Health Sciences since 2004.
