Summary

Specific interest in engagement, experience, retention, progression and successful outcomes for all students.  

About

Working as a nurse (specialising in the forensic psychiatric area) for almost 20 years equipped me with a wealth of experience in team work, interdisciplinary collaboration and the ability to focus on the needs of an individual. These core values remain and led to our team winning the ‘British Society of Criminology/ Higher Education Academy National Teaching Award for Teaching Excellence in Criminology’ (based on employability and skills modules) in 2014 and HEA finalists for the 'Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence' in 2016 as well as achieving Senior Fellowship status with the HEA based on those same areas with a focus on inclusivity and accessibility.
 
In more recent years I have held a variety of operational roles which has ensured a robust and critical approach to developing strategies which are equitable and empowering, can be implemented, are inclusive and benefit staff, students and the wider community,
 
As an experienced strategic and operational senior leader within one of the largest Institutes in one of the largest and most diverse universities in the country, I am committed to ensuring all of our students experience equality of access, experience and success and they, along with our staff group are developed and empowered to achieve their ambitions.
 

I have developed and deliver modules involving working on developing the study skills modules in collaboration with various staff across the faculty to enhance student experience, promote autonomous learning and develop key IT innovations, Mentally Disordered Offenders and the simulation modules. The simulation modules have been designed with direct reference to a number of criminal justice professionals who also teach on the modules to show students how cases progress through the criminal justice system.
