I am a Nursing Lecturer with a clinical background in Emergency and Intensive Care nursing, and have a keen research focus on workforce sustainability in critical care. My PhD explores the impact of chronic conditions on critical care nurses, aiming to identify practical strategies to support their wellbeing, improve retention, and build a more resilient nursing workforce. With over 12 years of clinical experience and a solid foundation in tertiary education, I am passionate about combining academic research with real-world nursing challenges. My teaching philosophy is grounded in delivering innovative, student-centred education that prepares nursing students to become compassionate, capable health professionals. Through my research and academic practice, I aim to contribute to a healthier, more supported workforce and to influence policy and educational practices that strengthen the future of nursing.
