Overview
I am a Research Associate within the School of Healthcare Sciences and a PhD researcher within the Management, Employment and Organisation section of Cardiff Business School.
My PhD research has focused on co-production efforts in Welsh health and social care. Alongside my PhD, I have worked as a Research Assistant on COGOV (Co Production and Co Governance: Strategic Management, Public Value and Co Creation in the Renewal of Public Agencies across Europe); an EU-funded project, in partnership with other UK and EU universities and institutions. I have also worked as a seminar leader for undergraduate students and have assisted teaching and delivered sessions for postgraduate students.
