My role
I’m part of the Professional Studies team in the Lifelong Learning Centre. My responsibilities include leading modules, personal tutoring, supporting research modules and dissertation supervision. My areas of expertise include: youth work, community development, UK social policy (20th century to present) and the sociology of health.
Professional experience
I have a background in youth and community work and adult education. I’ve worked for a range of voluntary sector organisations across Leeds in a number roles from youth work to teaching English as an additional language. I have a BA in Economic and Social History and in 2014 I graduated from the University of Leeds with an MA in Social and Public Policy.
I have a keen interest in widening participation and making higher education accessible, enjoyable and inclusive for all. In addition to my teaching responsibilities on the Professional Studies BA, I work closely with colleagues in the Communities and Partnerships team to deliver outreach sessions.
