Personal profile

Scholarly biography

As a Principal Lecturer specialising higher education learning and teaching my role encompasses a range of research and practice, working directly with students, academic staff and central departments in the areas of student engagement, student-staff partnership, employability, retention and success. In 2014 I was awarded Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.

My role is leading the Student Academic Success and Partnership team within the Centre for Learning and Teaching. I currently hold the national role of Co-Chair for International Academic Peer Learning (IAPL) - a network of over 400 colleagues working in the field of peer learning in higher education. I am the institutional lead for a nationally funded HEFCE Catalyst project 'Changing Mindsets - Reducing Stereotype Threat as a Barrier to Student Success', and am embarking on a UKCISA research grant into Creating Communities of Practice for International Student Transitions.
