After working in a variety of settings, whilst working as a Head of Science, I embarked on my Masters of Education at the University of Bristol and completed this in 2013.

I am now studying for my PhD in Education part-time, (whilst lecturing) with a special focus on working with children at high risk of exclusion.

I have a background in additional education needs, working with a broad spectrum of children, with many different needs. I have also worked in mainstream state schools and have enjoyed every minute of my career as a teacher.

My research interests are often very Science orientated, but the overarching theme for me and fundamentally my ethos is; education is for all. 

My students often ask, if you loved teaching so much why are you here? The answer is simple; I can reach far more children and affect their lives in a positive way, if I can have an impact on the teaching, of the teachers of tomorrow.
