About

I teach across a range of modules on the PG, BEd with QTS and MEdu with QTS Primary Education Programmes.

Teaching responsibilities

I lead and teach on a wide variety of curriculum and school placement focussed modules. 

Research interests

My research and publications include book chapters inspired by my voluntary work abroad. These chapters were on resilience in street children in Tanzania and the education of children and young people in India, motivated by working with children in a school in the slums in Bangalore.
