BIO
I am a post doctoral clinical academic physiotherapist interested in neurological and vestibular disorders.
I received an undergraduate degree in Human Biology in 2008 and went on to complete a MSc in Physiotherapy in 2010, and a Masters in Research at King's College London in 2015. I worked clinically as a physiotherapist in the fields of neurology and vestibular rehabilitation at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust before embarking on a NIHR Clinical doctoral research fellowship under the supervision of Dr Barry Seemungal. I completed my PhD in 2023 and am now a NIHR Imperial BRC Post-doctoral research fellow and a NIHR Senior Clinical and Practitioner Award holder.
My current research focuses on understanding the management of vestibular disorders in acute traumatic brain injury patients.
Other roles
I am a CAHPR AHP Research Champion in North West London and the research and education committee member for physiotherapists with an interest in vestibular rehabilitation (ACPIVR).
