A hithau’n Arbenigwr Datblygu Academaidd, arweiniodd Loretta ystod o weithgareddau dysgu ac addysgu ar lefel sefydliadol. Nod y rhain oedd gwella arferion addysgu ar draws pob rhan o'r Brifysgol i wella profiad dysgu a chyflawniad y myfyrwyr, gan gynnwys:

• prosiect pontio amgylchedd dysgu rhithwir sefydliadol, a enillodd Wobr yr Is-Ganghellor;
• datblygu a gweithredu polisïau a dulliau newydd ar gyfer asesu ac adborth electronig yn ogystal ag ymgysylltu â myfyrwyr;
• prosiect i gynllunio ac integreiddio cyfres newydd o rinweddau graddedigion ym mhob cwricwlwm academaidd;
• rhaglen ymsefydlu ar ei newydd wedd, dan arweiniad academaidd ac sy'n rhoi’r myfyriwr yn gyntaf.
• datblygu a gweithredu teclyn hunanarfarnu addysg ar gyfer datblygu cynaliadwy, yn ogystal â rhaglen DPP cysylltiedig.
• creu a chyflwyno adnodd tiwtora personol ar-lein ar gyfer staff, a digwyddiadau datblygu staff cysylltiedig i greu cysondeb ac arferion gorau mewn hyfforddiant personol.
• dylunio a chyflwyno gweithgareddau, digwyddiadau ac adnoddau datblygiad proffesiynol ar gyfer staff academaidd a'r rhai sy'n cefnogi dysgu ac addysgu ar draws ystod o themâu sy'n ymwneud â dysgu, addysgu ac asesu. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys Tystysgrif Ôl-raddedig ar gyfer gweithdai Addysgu mewn Addysg Uwch.
• Y Cynllun Cymrodoriaethau Addysgu Cenedlaethol mewnol a’r Wobr Gydweithredol am Ragoriaeth Addysgu

Mae hi hefyd wedi bod yn banelydd ar gyfer digwyddiadau dilysu ac ail-ddilysu ac mae wedi arwain a/neu gyfrannu at gyfres o brosiectau a mentrau cenedlaethol a gynlluniwyd i godi proffil ac ansawdd dysgu ac addysgu.

Mae Loretta yn Uwch-gymrawd o Advance AU, mae ganddi Dystysgrif Ôl-raddedig Addysgu mewn Addysg Uwch, cymhwyster ôl-raddedig mewn Mentora a Hyfforddi, ac mae'n hwylusydd Setiau Dysgu Gweithredol cymwys. Mae wedi cyhoeddi ystod eang o bapurau, erthyglau a phenodau llyfrau ar draws nifer o themâu dysgu ac addysgu, yn ogystal â chyd-ysgrifennu Cyngor a Chanllawiau Asiantaeth Sicrhau Ansawdd y DU gyfer Asesu Codau Ansawdd y DU 2018.

Ymunodd Loretta â Phrifysgol Caerdydd yn 2019, ac ar hyn o bryd mae'n Bennaeth Datblygu Addysg yn yr Academi Dysgu ac Addysgu. Mae’n gyfrifol am oruchwylio gweithgareddau datblygu academaidd a arweinir gan yr Academi ac (ail)ddylunio’r cwricwlwm.
