Sophie MacKenzie graduated from City, University of London in 1990 and has practised as a speech and language therapist in both acute and rehabilitation settings. She began her first academic role in 2007, combining clinical management of the acute SLT team at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust with teaching at the University of Greenwich and Canterbury Christ Church University on their PGDip pre-registration programme. She moved into fulltime academia in 2010 and has taught eating, drinking and swallowing to both undergraduate and postgraduate preregistration students, as well as post-registration Masters students at City, University of London.
