Following graduation from the anatomy course at Cardiff University, I worked towards my PhD at the Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh, investigating the transcriptional profile of early osteoarthritic tissues and using this to validate in vitro models of the disease. 

On graduation, I moved south, working at an independent publishing company where I wrote educational materials for secondary students in biology and chemistry.

I then moved to the University of Bristol, taking up a post as a medical demonstrator before becoming a Lecturer and later Senior Lecturer in Anatomy at the School of Anatomy.

I have responsibility for teaching and supervision across a number of units and programmes delivered by the School of Anatomy and Bristol Medical School.

I am heavily involved in outreach and public engagement, and co-ordinate the School of Anatomy's public engagement activities.
