I am an Information Specialist/Systematic Reviewer based at Cardiff University's Specialist Unit for Review Evidence (SURE), with expertise in systematic reviewing for over 20 years. My particular expertise is in advanced literature searching and the development of systematic review methodologies. I have worked on projects for a range of organisations including the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE), National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) the Welsh Government and Public Health Wales. I have co-authored over 100 publications including Cochrane reviews and methodology papers. Current projects include conducting reviews for Cardiff University Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Centre, Wales COVID-19 Evidence Centre and the Centre for Homelessness Impact. 
In addition, I teach evidence-based methodologies on several internal and external programmes including Cardiff University Doctoral Academy and lead the Cardiff Systematic Review Course. I have jointly supervised intercalated degree and postgraduate students who are involved in carrying out a systematic review as a component within their degree programme.
