She went on to become a research fellow at Plymouth University working on an EPSRC funded grant as the psychologist on a team developing a psychologically plausible computational model of spatial language comprehension (2001-2003). She moved into medical education in 2003 beginning as a research fellow in curriculum evaluation, and later lecturer in Human Sciences at Peninsula Medical School (Universities of Exeter & Plymouth). She now works as a senior lecturer and director of medical education research at the School of Medicine, Cardiff University.
