I have come from a medical family so it was inevitable that I would follow into health care. My interest started for physiotherapy when I was still in school and participating in sports mainly rowing and rugby. These came with MSK injuries for which I ended up seeing a physiotherapist. I was taken by the process of diagnosis and treatment planning and how it worked I remember think it was magic.

I studied physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham and graduated 2011. Following this I did my rotations in my hometown of Hereford covering all areas including stroke, orthopaedics and musculoskeletal. After this I got a static job in MSK in Dudley as I knew this was the area I had the most interest in. I enjoyed the idea that it covered such a vast area from acute injuries, sports injuries and pain management.

More recently I have a been working on advancing my practice. I have started working towards my MSc and have just completed my prescribing module and furthering my knowledge on medications used for pain management. I have also completed a module in the pharmacology and physiology of pain and next plan to undertake a module in MSK injections. I am currently working as an Advanced Pain Practitioner at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley. I continue to enjoy working at PhysioArt and bringing my experience from the NHS to treating all conditions.

I enjoy sports particularly rugby and golf. I have now hung my rugby boots up but I still enjoy a round of golf. Although I spend a fair bit of time looking for the golf ball in the trees. I keep active in the gym and enjoy swimming. I have just bought a house so any other free time is spent doing some DIY.
