Trosolwg

Rwy'n fydwraig a darlithydd profiadol gyda gyrfa bydwreigiaeth ac addysgu yn rhychwantu dros 35 mlynedd. Fy nod parchus yw cyfrannu'n gadarnhaol at iechyd a lles y cyhoedd ac i'r perwyl hwn mae fy ngwaith wedi cynnwys adeiladu a chynnal pontydd rhwng addysg, ymarfer a'r cyhoedd yn barhaus. Rwy'n anelu at rymuso myfyrwyr a fy nghydweithwyr i fod yn weithwyr proffesiynol ac arweinwyr rhagorol i ddefnyddio eu gwybodaeth a'u sgiliau caled i gynnig gofal rhagorol a rhagorol i'n cymuned.

Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n mwynhau fy rôl fel Cyfarwyddwr Rhaglen ar y Cyd ar gyfer Astudiaethau Cysylltiol Meddygon MSc yma yn Abertawe.

Rwyf hefyd yn dysgu Cymraeg ac yn falch o ddweud fy mod yn dod ymlaen yn eithaf da - ar hyn o bryd yn siarad Cymraeg pryd bynnag y gallaf ac yn astudio Cwrs Canolradd.
