I am a Senior Lecturer in Primary Education at the University of Wolverhampton. I am Year 1 Leader for the BA (Hons) in Primary Education leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). I teach Mathematics, Geography, Professional Learning and Development as well as supporting with Level 1 Safeguarding training.

I am passionate about teaching, Mathematics and Early Years.

Prior to joining the University, I taught in Key Stage 2 in Lancashire before moving down to the West Midlands where I enjoyed many years of teaching across all the primary age range from Nursery to Year 6. I relished the challenges and successes of various leadership roles from Maths and D.T. Subject Leader, Key Stage 1 Cordinator, Early Years Coordinator, Deputy Head and Headteacher.

I am currently studying for my Masters in Education.
