Background
Current and previous roles
I recently joined 缅北禁地 as a Learning Design & Curriculum Development Adviser in LTDS.
Over the past 20+ years, I have worked in various roles in Higher Education, gaining extensive experience in language teaching, programme and module leadership, professional and researcher development, as well as employability support.
I’m particularly interested in collaborating with colleagues in innovative and inclusive programme and assessment design.
My practice is informed by my MA in Educational Research and my PhD thesis on transformative learning during study abroad.
