I am a passionate, experienced, and innovative senior lecturer in science with a proven track record of success with students. I have extensive experience of teaching students of all levels and backgrounds, from 11 plus to University. I believe in a student centred approach to learning and tailor my teaching to match a student’s learning style.  I adopt a relaxed style to develop student confidence and deepen levels of understanding. My lessons are an hour long and during that time I focus on clarifying the syllabus and exam board expectations,  building existing knowledge and developing exam techniques (timings, approaches, question practice).

I completed my  BSc (Hons) (1998) in Environmental Science and a PhD (2004) in Polymer Chemistry from the University of Sussex. 

In 2004 I was appointed as an associate lecturer at the Open University on a number of science courses. 

In 2007 I took a permanent lectureship position at Wrexham Glyndwr University and am now a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. My role currently is as a senior lecturer and a programme leader for Masters in  Analytical and Forensic Chemistry, BSc ( Hons) Biomedical Science and BSc (Hons) Biochemistry. I am research active and enjoy inspiring young pupils to become actively involved in science projects.
