About
I am currently the Unit of Assessment Coordinator for Education at Kingston University. I have previously held senior leadership roles as School Director of Research and Director of Postgraduate Research in the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education, shaping research strategy and supporting postgraduate development.
My research focuses on the pedagogy of educational technology, examining the dynamic relationship between learners, teachers and digital tools. I am particularly interested in the design and use of multimedia and multimodal forms of communication, and the challenges and opportunities posed by technological innovations in education. Central to my work are the evolving roles of both teacher and learner in technology-rich environments across all educational sectors.
Through my teaching and leadership, I seek to champion Kingston University’s commitment to Future Skills, ensuring students develop creativity, adaptability, digital competency and resilience. I contribute to Kingston’s world-leading research culture and its ambition to prepare graduates who can innovate and make a positive impact in diverse professional and community contexts.
