I began my career in social work in 1985, with my first five years spent in residential child care. I subsequently worked as a generic social worker and then as a children and families worker. I then moved to a voluntary sector family support organisation where I held several roles as practice teacher, project manager, and then director of operations. I completed my Ph.D. in 2018 and have worked as a lecturer here at Dundee since then.
I am the convenor for practice learning in social work. Additionally, I am a researcher on the SSSC funded longitudinal study of newly qualified social workers and on the study exploring the impact of COVID on newly qualified social workers.
I have led several modules. My main areas of teaching are in preparation for practice learning and in research methods. I have also led on change management and on the EAL (Enquiry Action Learning). Outwith social work, I teach a module on professional identity on our Professional Doctorate programme.
I am supervisor for several PhD and professional doctorate students.
