I graduated in 2014 as a dietitian after going to school and college in Derbyshire and Nottingham. I worked at a hospital in Burton and then the Queens medical center in Nottingham with people who have had major trauma (lots of injuries) and gastroenterology (people who problems with stomach and intestines). Before moving into teaching in 2019. Outside of work I enjoy crochet, sewing and playing sports like tennis and cricket.

Nutrition treatment may include removing certain types of foods like gluten, helping them lose weight and more commonly supporting people in gaining weight when they are struggling to eat.. including tube feeding.

My Typical Day:
My typical day now I am teaching usually consists of 3 hours of teaching. Which looks like an interactive session based on a different health condition or area of working in healthcare/hospitals. I use lots of case studies/patient stories. I also run activities around student experiences and inclusion as the LGBTQ+ tutor such as quizzes and craft sessions.
