Before coming to King's College London in 1995 as a lecturer Annie achieved a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. In 1996 Annie was awarded her MSc in Nursing Studies at King's.

In her role at King's Annie has taught HIV/AIDS, sexual health, politics, policy and a range of related professional topics. Annie has always been interested in the historical context and antecedents of current policy. In recent years this has led to an active pursuit of historical studies and research.
