I am an experienced higher education leader and educator with expertise in learning and teaching strategy, academic development, and educational innovation. As Director of Learning and Teaching and Deputy Head of School for Education and Childhood at UWE, I support the strategic growth and operational leadership of a leading School of Education.
With a background spanning higher and further education, I have held roles including Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Department Manager, Academy Director, Quality Manager, and strategic lead for learning and teaching. I studied Sport and Applied Science at Loughborough University before completing a PGCE, MA in Education at University of the West of England, Level 7 Apprenticeship in Strategic Leadership and currently studying an MBA.
I have led a range of higher education teacher training programmes, including the PG-Cert HE and MA Education, and is recognised for driving pedagogic innovation through initiatives such as technology-enhanced learning, lecture capture, blended learning, staff mentoring, and digital education strategies.
In 2018, I was awarded Principal Fellowship of the HEA in recognition of strategic contributions to higher education, particularly in enhancing academic practice, collaboration, inclusivity, and professional development.
