About Me
My career has taken me from physiotherapy practice into digital innovation and now into organisational strategy, but a constant theme has been helping people to achieve their best. I care about creating environments where teams feel supported, engaged, and able to make a real impact.
I bring a balance of clear thinking, collaborative leadership, and a drive for continuous improvement. Whether working with patients, volunteers, or colleagues, I am motivated by curiosity and a genuine belief in people’s potential.
Clinical Practice
I began my career in the NHS before moving into private practice in the United Kingdom and in St Lucia. My clinical work focused on neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal conditions, and sports injuries, with a particular interest in biomechanics to improve performance and prevent injury.
Working in different health systems, from the NHS to private practice in the Caribbean, gave me a wider perspective on patient needs and the value of accessible rehabilitation. These experiences shaped my belief in the importance of sharing knowledge and improving practice, which have influenced my interest in digital health and leadership.
Knowledge and Leadership
Alongside my clinical work, I developed a passion for sharing knowledge and improving access to health information. While living in St Lucia, I wrote a weekly newspaper column on health and well-being, aiming to educate and empower the public. I worked in a private rehabilitation clinic, where I combined clinical practice with mentoring and developing colleagues, strengthening my skills in leadership and collaboration.
I then worked with Physiopedia, where I moved from content development tp Physiopedia Manager. This was an exciting role where I led a global volunteer team, strengthened content governance, and introduced new ways of using data to inform strategy and learning. I contributed to large-scale projects, including the USAID-funded ReLAB-HS initiative.
Strategy and Change
I am now Planning Coordinator for Risk, Performance and Opportunity at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). This role brings together planning, governance, and collaboration to support both strategic delivery and organisational development.
My work focuses on strengthening systems for risk management, performance monitoring, and opportunity development, ensuring that leaders have the insight they need to guide decisions. The CSP encourages collaboration driven by the 3Fs framework, freedom, fundamentals, and framework, which provides clarity and trust while encouraging new ways of working.
What matters most to me is creating connections across people, processes, and ideas. I am passionate about exploring ways to drive informed decisions, building shared responsibility, and helping people and organisations exceed expectations and realise goals.
Writing and Publications
Communication has been an important aspect of my career. While in St Lucia I wrote a weekly health column for a national newspaper, sharing practical advice on well-being and rehabilitation. I have also contributed regularly to Physiopedia News, writing on topics related to physiotherapy and innovation.
