I have a keen interest in curriculum design and student employability.

As a Senior Lecturer in Written Narrative, I teach on the University’s BA English and Creative Writing programme as well as supervising postgraduate research projects at MA and PhD level.

My role also involves wider teaching responsibilities across the Department of Creative Industries. I’m particularly interested in the workshopping of creative manuscripts and projects, as well as driving employability and Graduate Outcomes.
