Research interests
I serve as the NIHR Research Lead for Women's Health in Yorkshire and Humber, helping to shape the regional and national research agenda and promote innovation in gynaecological care.
I lead multiple national NIHR portfolio and commercial trails in genecology in Leeds and Yorkshire.
I completed my doctoral thesis in cancer biology in Newcastle University in 2012 and am an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Leeds, where I am actively involved in teaching and mentoring medical students and resident doctors.
My academic interests include surgical simulation training and translational research in endometriosis, with a focus on improving diagnostic pathways and patient outcomes.
I am a member of the BSGE Laparoscopic Portfolio Committee, where I shape national training of gynaecologists in advanced laparoscopic techniques.
Personal interests
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children, who keep me busy and grounded. I love walking in the Yorkshire Dales, gardening, and skiing, activities that help me recharge and stay connected to nature and family life.
