My career has been based around educational development and key areas of professional interest include:
- Professional development (learning, teaching and digital)
- Curriculum development
- Phenomenon Based Learning
- Authentic Assessment and assessment systems
- Action Research
- Organisational culture
- Change management
I am a National Teaching Fellow, Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, a CMALT holder and assessor and I sit on the Editorial Board of Higher Education Skills and Work Based Learning and presently work as an external at University of Birmingham. I have a first degree in Education Studies & Geography with Mathematics, a secondary school teaching qualification and a Doctorate in Higher Education from University of Liverpool.
Apart from being interested in all things educational and techie, I enjoy a busy family life, live music, a bit of baking, walking my dog in the Staffordshire Countryside, and relaxing with lots of audio books.
