I am a Senior Lecturer in Early Years, International Study Abroad Tutor and Route Leader for Post Graduate Certificate in Education, Birth to Five with Early Years Teacher Status. I am also the module leader on the PGCE Reflective Teacher and BA Primary Year 3 Pedagogy and School Experience and Year 2 Primary Teaching for ERASMUS students modules.
My research interests include toddler wellbeing in particular supporting early years' practitioners and teachers who are working with disadvantaged toddlers.
I have experience in working with a range of early years' practitioners and teachers in the England, Norway and Spain leading an EU funded ERASMUS+ grant. I am also interested in developing the students' experience of internationalisation and to this extent have been working with a colleague from University of Gävle, Sweden in supporting students' reflective skills through experiencing different early years educational provision.
I am leading Kingston University's partnership of an EU funded grant, Education and Teaching in Early Years from International Perspectives (ETEIP) with the University of Gävle, Sweden, Comunidad del Centro Superior de Estudios Universitarios La Salle (CSEULS) Spain and Early Years Setting in the England, Norway, Spain and Sweden.
