About me
I am a Senior Lecturer within the Department of Geography & Environmental Management and Co-Programme Leader for BSc Geography. I graduated from the Department in 2016 with a First Class BSc(hons) in Geography & Environmental Management. In 2017 I completed a Masters by Research (MRes) in Remote Sensing with Distinction. I also hold a PgCert in Academic Practice.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS), Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), and a Member of the Institute of Environmental Science (MIEnvSc). I am a member of various international institutions including the European Geosciences Union, American Geophysical Union, British Hydrological Society, the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, and the International Network for Learning & Teaching in Geography. Within UWE I am a member of the Centre for Water, Communities and Resilience. I also work with the Bristol Geographical Association (GA) Branch to support secondary teachers in the use of GIS.
Area of expertise
My specialism is within the field of applied spatial analysis, geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. I teach a broad range of subjects across a number of Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses at UWE, including our physical and human geography, geology and civil engineering degrees. My GIS teaching varies from analysing historic climate patterns and wildfire impacts, to landslide prediction and rainfall modelling, and multi-criteria decision making. I am experienced in delivering both introductory courses in GIS and cartography, and more advanced courses in spatial analytical methods and remote sensing.
