Senior Lecturer in Initial Teacher Education. Masters degree and Doctoral supervisor. My research interests are around teacher recruitment and retention, schools-based practices and the day to day lived experiences of women teachers

Before working at SHU I taught Science in Nottinghamshire schools for nearly 20 years. I had a variety of leadership roles including Head of Science and Co-ordinator of Continuing Professional Development. I feel very privileged to work at SHU with teachers, trainee teachers and postgraduate students to support their professional and academic development.
