After qualifying as an optometrist in 2009 I worked in clinical practice for a number of years before embarking upon my PhD at the University of Bradford. My research focused on the mechanisms underpinning subsecond duration processing in the human brain. I was also employed as a clinical demonstrator at the University and supervised undergraduate clinics across all three year groups. I successfully defended my thesis in 2017, and then worked full time as a hospital optometrist at both Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and Bradford Royal Infirmary. I was predominantly involved in glaucoma, post-operative care and macular clinics, in addition to supporting my manager with administrative duties and clinical audits. I joined the University of Huddersfield as a lecturer in Optometry in 2020, and in addition I currently work part time as a research optometrist for the Bradford Ophthalmic Research Network. I have a special interest in the field of medical retina, particularly diabetic maculopathy and age-related macular degeneration. I am also module leader for Binocular Vision and Paediatrics in the second year Optometry Masters programme.
