About me

I joined UWE in 2016 as a Learning Technologist in FET progressing to a Senior Learning Technologist ACE in 2021 and the Digital Learning Service in 2022. I currently lead the Digital Learning Service in the College of Arts, Technology and Environment. Prior to joining UWE, I worked at the Open University for 6 years and going back further, I also completed my BSc in International Studies with the Open University.

I completed a PG Certificate in Online and Distance Education in 2017 and have a training background with a Certificate in Training Practice (CIPD) from 2007.

In my time at UWE I have worked with a variety of learning technologies such as Blackboard, Blackboard Collaborate, Mentimeter, Panopto, Xerte, CampusPress, MS Teams, Dewis and Padlet and I have also worked extensively with formative and summative online exams as well as supporting the distance learning provision at UWE.

I'm interested in learning design, inclusivity and keeping up with the innovations in technology which may prove useful for teaching and learning. 

Area of expertise

Learning design including assessment design, online, blended and hybrid teaching and group work.
