Personal profile
Research interests
As an early career researcher, my research interests are ever evolving in a range of areas: teacher education and development, curriculum development, student learning and pedagogical principles. In particular, current reserach interests are within the HE sector, but I aim to explore a range of these areas that are either staff or student facing, in an attempt to purposefully make a positive impact to both the institution and my professional development.
