About me
I am an academic and educational developer, and podcaster.
In my academic development work I focus on the professional development of programme and module leaders, and of early career academics. In my educational development work, I support UWE colleagues with the enhancement and development of their programmes. I have a particular interest and background in research informed teaching and employability.
I am the host of the Serious Leisure Podcast. I am passionate about improving our working lives, so that we leave time for our leisure, hobbies, passions and interests.. My own hobby is improvised theatre. I not only perform, but also am currently working on drawing insights from the teaching of improvisation theatre into how we support those new to teaching in higher education.
