My academic journey began with a PhD in Literary Studies, where I explored themes of migration, identity, and writing. I also hold an MA and BA in English Language and Literature, along with a Graduate Certificate in Digital Learning Leadership.

I began my career in higher education as a sessional tutor, teaching a variety of subjects across the humanities. I then transitioned into a role as a learning designer, where I developed a strong foundation in creating inclusive, student-centred learning experiences. During this time, I also continued teaching across media and professional studies, bringing theory and practice together in meaningful ways. These experiences led to roles as a Senior Learning and Teaching Specialist and later as a Senior Educational Development Advisor, where I worked across faculties to support academic development.

I have also contributed to the delivery of the Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning, supporting academic staff in developing reflective, research-informed approaches to their teaching. Across these roles, I have built expertise in curriculum and assessment design, academic capability development, and strategic enhancement of learning and teaching.

In my current role as a Senior Lecturer in Learning Futures, I bring these diverse experiences together to support academics in engaging in critical reflection, enhancing their teaching practice, demonstrating impact, and gaining recognition for their contribution. My work is grounded in a commitment to inclusive, future-focused learning environments that empower both educators and students to thrive.
