BIO

I am an Associate Professor at UCL's Arena Centre for Research-based Education, and am Associate Director UCL Higher Education and Development Support Institute (Faculty Partnership & Programme Enhancement) .

I teach across the UCL Arena Centre’s professional development provision for PGR students, research staff and early career academics. I have responsibility for Personal Tutoring staff development across UCL. I work closely with the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences to enhance their education provision.

Before joining the Arena Centre, I was a Senior Teaching Fellow in Petroleum Geoscience and Engineering at Imperial College London. I taught across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate settings, and have had roles as deputy course director, undergraduate personal tutor and Senior Postgraduate (Taught) Tutor.
