Biography

Before joining Buckinghamshire New University in 2023, I had a varied professional background, in marketing, both 3D and Digital. In 2017, my career changed direction towards Learning Management Systems, Digital Learning, and course content creation, which allowed for a natural move into lecturing. I first worked in apprenticeships in 2001 as an assessor and IQA, and have seen the developments in apprenticeships since 2017, when apprenticeships moved to the new standards, which is when I moved into Higher Education. 

My course leader responsibilities are for the Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship and Senior Leader Apprenticeship. I teach on modules across the Buckinghamshire University Business School portfolio, I deliver on all modules with a focus on work-based learning utilising learner expertise to ensure collaboration and group work to further develop understanding across levels and subjects.

I completed PG Certificate in Education in 2001 and D32/D33 Assessor qualifications in 2000, this enabled me to assess apprenticeships. I also completed the D34 Internal Verifier Award in 2002. I was granted fellowship of the CIM in 2017 on completion of a Level 7 post graduate diploma in Digital Marketing and went on to complete an MSC in Marketing. I have also completed Level 7 qualifications with the Chartered Institute of Personal Development with a specialism in L & D, which has given me the status of MCIPD. I also completed a Professional Diploma in Digital Learning Design from Glasgow Caledonian University. I am a Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and in 2024 achieved the Mental Health First Aid Certificate. 

I am fully committed to CPD and continue to set new targets; I am currently working towards completion of my PHD.
