Biography

I have worked as a Dental Hygienist, Principal Lecturer in UPDA, Quality Assurance, now Associate Head Education, University of Portsmouth Dental Academy, registered with the General Dental Council.

As the Associate Head Education I am responsible for the student experience within UPDA. This means listening to and responding to the student voice. I am a member of the Faculty of Science Learning and Teaching Committee and liaise closely with the Departmental admissions team.

Having achieved the MA Learning and Teaching from the University of Portsmouth I am now currently undertaking the Doctorate in Education (part time) at the University of Southampton in the School Of Education. My research interest is in preclinical simulation; the effect of new technologies on student learning and on learning and teaching practice.
