About

I am a senior lecturer and co-course leader on the BA Top-up Programme for Education and Leadership in Practice.I am currently undertaking research for my MA dissertation in Early Childhood Studies. Previously, I have been privileged to teach on the Foundation degree at one of Kingston University's partner colleges from 2014 until 2017.

Setting-up of my own Pre-School in 2009, I felt the need to improve my knowledge and understanding, so I undertook the Foundation Degree in Leadership and Management followed by the BA Hons in Teaching and Learning and the subsequent Early Years Teacher Award, which I graduated from in 2013. I have a deeply felt desire and passion for in-depth knowledge and research in the field of leadership and management in early years. Moreover, I am particularly interested in Froebelian principles focusing on play-pedagogy through first-hand experiences predominantly in harmony with nature and my dissertation is looking to explore ‘Practitioner's understanding of children's physicality'.
