I am a Senior Lecturer in Simulation and Digital Innovation at Liverpool John Moores. This role combines my extensive experience in applying digital technologies for health education, project management, educational content development and teaching. I have previously worked as a Learning Technologist at Liverpool John Moores, as a Content Manager for National Museums Liverpool and as a Senior Editor for Oxford University Press.
My professional interests include the application of immersive technologies in Simulation, on which I wrote my Master's thesis. I also have a strong interest in Multimedia Design for learning, Instructional Design and Digital Health Technologies.
