Teaching Responsibilities
I teach on the second-year course PD2503: Work-based learning: Team projects with employer partners
Non-course Teaching Responsibilities
When working with students, my role is to inform, advise and guide individuals as they reflect on their career motivations. My students study non-vocational courses therefore many of their career ideas are influenced by personal motivations, external factors or through experience. I hold Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in recognition of my teaching and learning support work against the Professional Standards Framework.
