About
Following my first degree I worked as a primary school teacher and senior leader before moving into school improvement and professional development roles. In my current role I design and lead projects focused on teacher professional development and write curriculum materials. I work with other partners including the Wellcome Trust, the Primary Science Teaching Trust, and the Chartered College of Teaching. I have worked abroad on European projects and in Malaysia. I teach in the Sheffield Institute of Education and I supervise undergraduate and post graduate students. I am the module leader for Developing Others through Mentoring and Coaching on the Masters in Professional Practice.
