I am a graduate of Medicine from University College Dublin. I completed the Higher Specialist Training in Endocrinology, Diabetes Mellitus and General Internal Medicine and am registered specialist with the Irish Medical Council since 2022 (IMCN 406389). I am currently working as a clinical research fellow in Kings College London and completing a PhD in hypoglycaemia and continuous glucose monitoring. I have excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team. I have a proven track record of delivering on large scale projects, as shown in the delivery of the Hypo-METRICS study. I also have extensive experience with technology, smart-phone application development, statistics and coding.

• I have been actively involved in both undergraduate and post-graduate education throughout my career
• As intern tutor in St Vincent's University hospital, I developed from a rounded education course for interns, providing education on practical clinical skills and well as financial planning and integration with the multi-disciplinary team.
• I also organised and oversaw interim assessments and end of programme sign off for the intern program
• Involved in Medical OSCE examinations and long case assessments
• Involved in Medical OSCE in Kings College Hospital, Denmark Hill
• Undergraduate diabetes lecturer in Kings College London and clinical skills facilitator
• Mentorship to early career researchers in Kings College London diabetes unit

• Throughout my career I have sought out management and leadership roles
• Ran the Hypo-METRICS study, as part of the hypo-resolve consortium. This involved the writing and overview of the study protocol and standard operating procedures, securing ethics, educating over 50 members of the team across 9 sites in the Europe.
• Set and run bi-weekly clinical service meeting and journal club in Kings College Hospital (Denmak Hill) during COVID-19 pandemic

• Lead NCHD on two IT projects in St Vincent’s Hospital.
• Helped establish and run a Continuous Glucose monitor database in St. Vincent’s Hospital.
• I was a class representative and a member of the Medical Society committee in UCD.

• As a clinical research fellow in Kings College London, I had the opportunity work within an innovative, progressive research diabetes department with special interest in hypoglycaemia and technology, under the tutelage of Prof Stephanie Amiel and Prof Pratik Choudhary
• My primary responsibility was the delivery of the Hypo-METRICS study (NCT04304963). I was involved in the design, implementation, recruitment and governance of the trial, through to the analysis and overview of a large body of research output.
• I was also sub-principal investigator on the commercial ADAPT study (NCT04235504 ). Our site was the 1st to recruit and also have the highest overall recruitment. This was the first use of the Medtronic 780G hybrid closed-loop system in the UK.
• I provided input into the HarpDOC study (NCY02940873), randomised controlled trial of a novel psychoeducational group programme for the treatment of therapy resistant severe hypoglycaemia. My main role in this project was to provide guidance for the health economic evaluation of the programme.
• As part of my role I also provided mentorship for early career researchers.
• My certificate in Good Clinical Practice is up-to date
