Senior Lecturer (Academic Development - Assessment)
My focus is on innovative methods of assessment in higher education, which I consider to be key to teaching in the 21st-century.
To that end, I’ve created a three-step model to support our academic staff to design meaningful, formative and summative assessment tasks for their students.
This is helping our lecturers make their programmes and modules assessments an integral part of a student’s learning journey.
I have nearly 25 years of international experience in senior management and lecturing in higher education.
I have a BSc and an MSc in Pure Mathematics and a PhD in Mathematics Education from Warwick University.

In the last few years, I have focused on creating a practical model to embed and integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the university curriculum.
The system has included creating a four-step model for embedding SGDs in higher education.
This makes it more authentic and provides an opportunity for students to engage with real-world problem-solving situations while studying at university.
