Academic, nurse and inclusion health researcher.  I hold a PhD and a Master's degree in Public Health and a Higher Diploma in Health care Risk Management from University College Dublin. I have a BSc (Health Studies for Nurses) from Queen's University Belfast. In 2019 I completed a Professional Diploma in Entrepreneurial Education.

I have a solid track record of winning competitive national and international funded grants and prestigious national fellowships (circa €0.85 million), with additional funding secured (€0.5 million) as a named collaborator.

Current inclusion research focuses on public and patient involvement (PPI), co-design methods, and people experiencing homelessness.
