I am the Programme Director for the Radiotherapy & Oncology Programme; and Senior Lecturer and Admission Lead.  I am responsible for managing the quality of the programme, student experience, teaching & learning, and recruitment.

I teach across the programme with particular emphasis on science and technology, radiotherapy dosimetry and radiotherapy treatment planning. 

My professional practice has afforded me a diverse range of experiences, allowing me to work in clinical, academic, and education management.  

I have had the privilege of working in the NHS Radiotherapy department at Band 8A (Superintendent). I was the Senior Team Lead in Radiotherapy CT-Sim Planning, Radiotherapy-Led Image Verification, and Radiotherapy Treatment Delivery. Additionally, I was the Clinical Learning Facilitator (NHS Band 8A) at Imperial College NHS Trust. 

I then transitioned to academia, initially as a Senior Lecturer for 5 years and then as an Education Manager (NHS Band 8B) in a National Breast Training Centre. In 2019, I returned to an academic role as a Senior Lecturer at St George's. In 2020, I took on additional responsibilities as an Undergraduate Programme Director.  

I recommend studying Radiotherapy and Oncology.  The future career prospects are excellent with opportunities to advance your career at Advanced and Consultant Level Practice.  

I believe in supporting all learners, regardless of background or circumstance, to achieve their full potential. My teaching and learning philosophy is rooted in the belief that it is never too late to learn and to become what you aspire to be.  I believe in equitable learning, which differs from equality; equitable learning involves providing students with the support they need, and recognising that some require more assistance than others to reach their goals. Our students are our primary focus, and we are here to support and help them achieve their career aspirations.
