I teach on the Health and Social Care degree programme, having worked in the health and social care industry, in the statutory and third sectors. I have a PhD from Cardiff University in Deaf studies. My sociological research interest is inclusive citizenship, which has led me to under-researched, minority communities: among other areas I have published on the Triple X experience, Steiner Waldorf pedagogy, and the Deaf community.

I am University Co-chair of the Deaf and BSL Working Group. I am Co-Chair of the CSESP Research Seminar Series. I am a Fellow of the HEA. I am a PhD, Prof Doc and DMan supervisor. I am the University representative for Sustainability and Inclusion, and I take part in the University Learning, Teaching and Student Engagement Committee. I have contributed to Welsh Government education research projects relating to inclusion in state education. I am currently working on projects relating to the lived experiences of elite sportswomen with endometriosis, and autistic elite athletes.
