About me
I have 25 years experience working within education. This includes teaching within Early Years, Primary, Further Education and Higher Education. My career began as a Primary Teacher of ten years. I then moved into Early Years teaching and lecturing within this field. I have lectured in Early Years and Education and have taken leadership roles within these programmes.
At present I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of the West of England in Education and Early Childhood. I teach on our Early Childhood Degree, Education Degree and am I a tutor on our Early Years Teacher Status (EYITT) postgraduate programme. I am also a school governor.
Area of expertise
My areas of expertise are in leadership, professional identity and educational policy. I have a strong interest in the impact that graduates make to the educational experiences of children, the quality of settings and how graduate professional identity develops. I am currently a Doctoral Student and my research 'Who am I? A Constructivist Grounded Theory exploration of the professional identity development of graduates within the early years workforce in England' explores these areas of interest. At present I am also working on a collaborative research project Early childhood graduates in the workplace: Experiences and perceptions (2024) funded through the Early Childhood Studies Degree Network.
