I joined the University of Bedfordshire as a lecturer in July 2015 having been involved in teaching research methods since 2012. I have a keen interest in enabling students to access existing data, a rich but underused source of information.

I have experience of teaching in a variety of educational settings in particular working with pupils marginalised and excluded from mainstream schooling. This was the focus of my doctoral research which sought to explore the educational experiences of those who attend alternative provision settings (schooling from pupils excluded from mainstream) and the impact of these experiences on their future development.
