About me

I work closely with academic colleagues to design and deliver embedded sessions on academic skills that help students understand higher education expectations and develop into confident, critical and independent learners.

As International Learning Developer for the College of Health, Science and Society, I also support students who are new to studying or living in the UK, or use English as an additional language, through pre-sessional courses, Summer Schools, drop-ins, one-to-one consultations and workshops.

Drawing on my first-hand experience as an international student in several countries (including the UK), I understand the challenges of adapting to a new academic culture and can help students navigate UK university expectations with confidence.

I hold an MA(Hons) in Russian, Central and East European Studies (University of Glasgow), an MSc in Information and Library Studies (University of Strathclyde), a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (UWE Bristol), and a Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Cambridge CELTA).

I am a CILIP Chartered librarian and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

My professional interests include assessment and feedback literacy, inclusive assessment design and practice, and multilingualism.
