I have worked on collaborative research with UCLAN assessing and measuring (dis)abled riders to amend the sport classification system used by the FEI during the paralympics. 

I have interests in animal behaviour and welfare, particularly horses and the impact of human interaction with them, as well as previous work as an undergraduate in conservation genetics and haplotyping. 

I lead 6 modules across 4 departments:

• L3 Foundation Animal Studies
• L3 Foundation Biological Principles 
• L4 Animal Genetics
• L4 Managing Equine Wellbeing
• L5 Professional Practice Portfolio 
• L5 Professional Practice Project 

I am on the teaching team on the following:

• L4 Livestock Science and Husbandry
• L4 Skills Development for Agriculture
• L4 Sustainable Agriculture
• L5 Animals in Education
• L6 Wildlife Conservation in Captivity

I have/will give guest lectures in:

• L5 Managing Animal Wellbeing
• L4 Equine Genetics

I have recently published a collaborative paper with the FEI (international governing body of equestrian sport) and UCLAN looking to evidence the classification system of para-dressage athletes, alongside colleagues in the sport and equine departments.
