I am Head of Online Learning in the Digital Education Service at the University of Leeds, UK. I’ve worked in online and digital education for over 15 years, starting as a learning technologist, before moving into online professional development, with a focus now on learning design and online education.

Previously, I have led online learning at a national CPD organisation for teachers, supported the implementation and evaluation of learning technologies and innovation in learning and teaching in higher education, at both departmental and institutional level, and led on pedagogy and service management for institutional lecture capture.

I am a Senior Certified Member of the Association for Learning Technology. I have a Masters in Online and Distance Education and a Masters of Engineering in Electronic Engineering with Media Technology. These qualifications have enabled me to explore the way that technology, creativity and learning intertwine.

I was a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy 2016-2019.
