About
After an extensive career teaching chemistry across secondary, further and higher education, I joined Kingston University. Before transitioning into teaching, I worked in analytical chemistry, specialising in the analysis of pesticide residues in food at the Laboratory of the Government Chemist (LGC) in London.
I am an educator and researcher whose work focuses on pharmaceutical waste management and chemical education. I am also the module leader for Introduction to Chemical Sciences. Alongside my academic responsibilities, I serve as a STEM Ambassador within the local community.
