Biography
During my time in the University, I have worked in school-based and central Digital Education roles, primarily in or working closely with schools in the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences before moving into my current role.
I’m interested in the appropriate use, educational effectiveness, and scalability of immersive environments for teaching and assessment.
