Profile
I completed a degree in Medieval Religious History and Philosophy at Keele University before joining the University of Birmingham to undertake a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. Despite originating from a small farming community, I quickly fell in love with the bright lights of the big city, and have been lucky enough to make it my permanent home.
I come from a teaching, rather than industry, background, having served for five years as a teacher of mathematics in a local secondary school before making the switch to University College Birmingham in August 2016.
For me, our students represent the heart of Birmingham, coming to us from all walks of life and at different stages in their learning journey, and yet are universally supportive of each other and determined to succeed in their goals.

Research interests and scholarly activity
In my previous post I was a Head of House, and was actively involved in the pastoral care of our students. Student wellbeing is a particular area of passion for me, and I enjoy gaining new knowledge and implementing effective strategies within this sphere. In addition, I particularly enjoy teaching students with additional learning needs, and look forward to any and all opportunities to improve my practice, and thus student outcomes.
