Fay Codona

Biography

After completing a degree in English Literature at Northumbria University, I came to study Adult Nursing at the University of Cumbria in 2014, graduating as a registered nurse in 2017. I subsequently worked as a General Practice Nurse in Cumbria. I have been a lecturer in adult nursing at the University of Cumbria since March 2019, offering a unique perspective to our students as I have been in their shoes not too long ago! I am passionate about the student experience and innovation in nurse education.
