About
I have spent much of my adult life studying to improve my career options and increase my level of qualification, finally gaining a Masters in Education in 2019. I am passionate about education and the opportunities it provides, I see myself as fortunate to now have a role where I can work with new teachers to share all the experiences and knowledge I have gained.
I joined Sheffield Hallam University almost two years ago as a Course Leader for computing in secondary education. This role allows me to nurture young teachers and embrace my passion for improving employability skills to enhance their career options.
I qualified as a teacher in 2004 and began my career in Further education teaching ICT, Computing and Business. I have always been interested in supporting career development for my students and improving employability across all levels of education. My role branched into career support and I undertook the additional role of "Career Ready Manager" engaging with local businesses to support my students in growing their employability skills. I won numerous awards in this role both locally and nationally.
