I am a Digital Education Developer in the College of Social Sciences supporting the development of online and blended learning experiences. I joined University of Birmingham in October 2023 but have been supporting learning in Higher Education as a Lecturer and Learning Designer since 2018. I have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2021 and have also worked extensively in the photographic and fine art sectors, with over 10 years’ experience in the field.

I can support with:

  • In-house digital tools such as Canvas, Panopto, Padlet and PebblePad
  • Authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline and Gomo for creating micro-learns, scenario, stranded and gamified e-learning
  • Blended module development and learning design
  • Creating accessible learning experiences
My research interests include: the role of digital tools for developing accessible learning experiences, critical pedagogy and the intersection of art and science
