I am an Associate Professor and Director of Academic Development and Research at the University of Law. I am also an Honorary Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Higher Education Research and Scholarship (CHERS) at Imperial College London. Prior to this, I was a Senior Teaching Fellow in Educational Development in the Educational Development Unit and was formerly part of the Graduate School, where I designed Imperial’s Advance HE-accredited Graduate Teaching Assistant Programme (GTAP).

Before moving into educational development, I was Head of Modern Languages and Lecturer in Higher Education at Brunel University London. Prior to this, I worked as a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics at Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland, and I taught German, translation and interpreting at the University of Surrey and German Linguistics at the University of Kent.
