- Overview
- Research Interests
- Teaching & Learning
I received both my BSc in Human Genetics (1999) and Honours Degree in Speech Language Therapy and Audiology (2003) in South Africa. I worked in South Africa as a Speech Language Therapist and Audiologist before coming to Scotland in 2005, where I worked as an Audiologist in the National Health Service (NHS). While working in hospitals in South Africa and in the NHS I supervised Audiology students as part of their clinical training. I have been a lecturer in Audiology at Queen Margaret University (QMU) in Edinburgh since 2007 and I am the Programme leader for the PgDip/MSc in Audiology (pre registration) course. In 2010 I completed the PgCert in Professional and Higher Education at QMU. I have a keen interest in the profession of Audiology and its development and I believe my background in Speech Therapy supports an understanding of the links between Audiology and other related professions. I participate in the accreditation of Audiology programmes on a national level for the British Academy of Audiology as part of my role on various professional and regulatory committees.
