I am a Senior Lecturer in Journalism and member of the Enterprise Fellowship Programme, having previously spent 30 years in the national and regional media.

I teach on the BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism course, as well as previously on the Arts & Humanities Foundation Year, and have developed, evolved and modified much of the teaching.

I was winner of Christ Church Students’ Union Best Emergency Assessment in 2020 for work on adapting the Level 6 Newsdays module during the coronavirus pandemic.

I was awarded the University Certificate in Academic Practice in 2017 and received full Fellowship of Advance: HE in 2023.

I became part of the inaugural cohort for the university's new Enterprise Fellowship Programme in 2023.
