Personal profile
Summary
I am a social care researcher with a background as a care assistant in residential dementia care. I am committed to furthering knowledge and practice in adult social care, and am particularly passionate about
improving the working environments for social care workers. Being from an "unqualified" social care background, I wish to demonstrate it is possible to become research active.
My PhD research explored how care workers mitigated or (re)produced incontinence related stigma in residential care settings. My particular topics of interest include continence, the social care workforce, and increasing research capacity in social care staff.
