Teaching
Previously I was School Director of Education, leading on education provision across two departments and five disciplines. I was the Chair of the University Digital Education Group and Chair of the School Education Committee and School Board of Studies. I also sit on a number of Faculty and University committees, including the Faculty Education Committee, University Assessment and Feedback Group and University Academic Advising Working Group. Previously I held L&T leadership roles at department level, including Senior Tutor, Programme Director of Environmental Science, Disability and Welfare Officer, and as Lead Moderator and Lead Link Tutor for our XJTLU-UoL T&L partnership.
I have strong interests in authentic assessment and digital learning, having received a University Teaching and Learning Fellowship, a University Sir Alastair Pilkington Award for Teaching Excellence and two Faculty Learning and Teaching Awards.
