Tell us a bit about your background
My professional journey commenced in the field of nursing where I dedicated approximately 12 years to serving as an operating theatre nurse. Throughout this period, I contributed my skills and expertise in healthcare settings such as Kent, St Thomas’ Hospital in London and Brighton. I then embarked on a new adventure, returning to education and successfully gained a media degree at the University of Brighton. Subsequently, I spent 13 years working alongside media students at a local further education college. This role allowed me to integrate my practical nursing experience with the theoretical insights gained through media studies, shaping a well-rounded professional profile and diverse skill set. For the past decade, I've been a part of the BSMS TEL team, where I've seamlessly integrated my diverse background. Combining my extensive experiences in nursing and media has brought my professional life full circle, allowing me to contribute uniquely to my current role.
What’s your role like day-to-day?
My role specifically involves all things media, including recording and editing videos for staff and student interviews and OSCE exams. I have created videos for the clinical skills team, which involves creating clinical skills scenarios or filming a clinical skills session to be used in student teaching and learning. I also create web-based e-tutorials and mobile apps and most recently have designed a set of icons for the Neuroscience Department.
