Teaching

Since 2006 I have taught within Higher Education, becoming a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2013, and have accumulated a broad range of teaching leadership, assessment and supervision experience at a number of universities. This includes Programme Leadership, Directorship and have developed and led programme improvement plans and academic team expansions.

I have led the development and communication of change and influenced others to maintain teaching and learning quality and research. I have held external examiner roles and have been involved in the validation of new degree programmes at undergraduate and masters levels.
