Staff profile

I am a facilitator with extensive experience in creative practice, from theatre design to community-based arts in health and education. My current role is a pioneering one: I am the Senior Creative Facilitator with the Institute for Medical Humanities and the Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities. I help to bring creative practice into the academy as a facilitator for interdisciplinary research.
