About me

I am a non-practising Solicitor, MBA, and Academic with a multi-faceted senior leadership role at the intersection of student experience, wellbeing, and academic performance. As an Academic and member of the Law Executive, I am dedicated to shaping inclusive, high-performing learning environments that foster the holistic development of law students.

As Associate Director for Student Experience, I lead institution-wide strategic initiatives that embed wellbeing, resilience, and reflective practice into the legal curriculum. My curriculum innovations have received industry recognition, and I have spearheaded NSS campaigns that have driven significant improvements in student engagement, progression, and satisfaction. These efforts have ensured our law programmes remain sector-leading within UWE and responsive to evolving student needs.

A passionate advocate for academic wellbeing, I work collaboratively across academic and professional services to embed it as a core pillar of the student journey. My leadership is defined by strategic vision, cross-functional collaboration, and a track record of delivering measurable, transformative change in legal education.
