I qualified as a social worker in 1999 from Edinburgh University and have worked in both adult care and children and families in Edinburgh and Falkirk.

I completed my practice education qualification in 2001 from Dundee university and subsequently supervised and assessed students from various Universities across the Central belt. I have worked in Learning and development as practice assessor coordinator for over 15 years.

My areas of interest include attachment theory and its relationship with supervision particularly when considering the importance of the relationship and providing a non-critical context.

I qualified as a Social Worker in 2017 from the University of the West of Scotland. I have worked in Children & Families services and Adult Services in Falkirk, Fife, Edinburgh and Glasgow.  

I completed my Practice Education Qualification with Stirling University and joined the Workforce Development Team in 2024 as a Practice Learning Coordinator.

My areas of interest include maximising capacity, participation and co-production with the people we work with, and the legislative & policy-base within social work.
