Biography

I am an Associate Professor in Nursing and Course Director for the BSc Nursing Studies. I am also the chair of the Department of Nursing and Midwifery Learning, Teaching and Assessment Committee. My extensive clinical, managerial and educator experiences both in Ireland and in the United Kingdom has provided me with significant experience and expertise to facilitate student and self-learning, through teaching, supervision, administration, curriculum development and research. I was nominated as a Teaching Hero as part of the 2020 student-led Teaching Hero awards by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in association with the Union of Students in Ireland. My particular research interests and scholarly activity are in the areas of cultural and ethnic diversity in healthcare, cultural competence development, internationalisation of curriculum, intercultural learning and refugee and migrant health.
