I am an Associate Professor (Teaching) in Nutrition at UCL, teaching across the BSc in Nutrition and Medical Sciences and MSc in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition. I have a BSc in Physiology and Biochemistry with Nutrition (University of Southampton, 2000) and PhD in Nutritional Sciences (University of Nottingham, 2005). Furthermore, I have a PG Cert in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (University of West London, 2007) and am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I have previously been a Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader for a number of Nutrition and Sport, Health and Exercise Science degrees.
I am a Registered Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition (AfN), and have the following exercise qualifications, Level 2 Gym Instructor, Level 3 Personal Trainer, Level 3 Exercise Referral and Level 4 Cancer Rehabilitation certificates.
My research interests include a wide scope around malnutrition, cachexia, sarcopenia and frailty. In particular, in population groups such as frail older people, renal, liver, cardiac, surgical and cancer patients. I am interested in screening and assessment of these states and impact on clinical outcomes. Furthermore, I am currently collaborating on projects related to specific interventions such as nutrition and exercise.
