Profile

I have worked in education and development for most of this century so far! My main focus is working with adults to build their personal, professional and academic confidence at all levels, be they returning to education or through to undertaking their Phd and beyond into employment.

I have a range of interests including learning in groups and teamwork, peer learning, intercultural learning environments, employability and career development, leadership development and community building, improvisation in arts and performance, and story-telling.

Student education

I work with Computer Science and [some of] the Engineering Schools [Chemical and Processing, Civil and Electronic and Electrical] to support students’ academic and information literacies, ideally working as a team collaborating with academic and professional services colleagues. I also teach on the Skills@Library co-curricular workshop programme and provide one to one support for students on any area of their academic studies. I lead the Learning Development team’s Career and Professional Development group, and am an occasional reviewer for the Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education (JLDHE).
