About me

Prior to becoming an Inclusion Lead and a Higher Education practitioner, I worked for a number of years as a Primary Teacher in Manchester and Oxfordshire. During this time, I trained to become a Specialist Mathematics Teacher, became a Senior Leader and worked part-time as a Mathematics Consultant for Oxfordshire Local Authority. Since then, I have worked as a Senior Lecturer in Education and Programme Leader for under-graduate Initial Teacher Education, firstly for Oxford Brookes University and then for the University of the West of England in Bristol.

In my current role, I am also the Inclusion Lead for Student Journeys. Outside of UWE, I am a Lead Evaluator for the DfE and lead the local network group of Mathematics Teacher Education providers in Bath and Bristol. I have a Masters degree in Mathematics Teacher Education from The University of Oxford and am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. 


Area of expertise

My areas of expertise are Primary Mathematics, Assessment and Feedback in Higher Education and Transition and Belonging in undergraduates. 

I have a number of research projects in progress:

  1. Dialogic feedback as a response to pervasive concerns: positive impact on attainment, relationships, student agency and staff workload
  2. Institutional mechanisms and their influence on first generation undergraduate students' feelings of academic belonging: a critical realist examination of Higher Education Institutes 
  3. Feelings of belonging in first year undergraduates: year 1 student journeys at UWE
  4. 'I'm in the right place for assessment': Push-pull factors influencing individual student journeys
  5. Exploration of student perception of pre-teaching as a means to support students with weak mathematics to access mathematics-based seminar content
