About

I am a Senior Lecturer in Early Years, International Study Abroad Tutor and Route Leader for Post Graduate Certificate in Education, Birth to Five Years with Early Years Teacher Status (EYITT). I am also the module leader on the PGCE Reflective Teacher module.

My research interests include toddler wellbeing in particular supporting early years' practitioners and teachers who are working with disadvantaged toddlers.

I have worked with a range of early years' practitioners and teachers in the UK, 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 systems and provision.
