In addition to my Lecturer role, I am currently the COL Director of Academic Practice. In this role I encourage the sharing of good practice, as well as scholarship, in teaching across all subject areas and programmes within the School.

Prior to my appointment at Edinburgh, I taught in Spain and South Korea.
