I am currently an EAP Teaching Fellow at the University of Birmingham Dubai where I work on the Foundation Programme teaching Advanced Academic Skills. I previously worked as a C1/C2 curriculum coordinator and have also taught in-sessional classes. Before this I was part of the founding academic team at the British University of Tashkent in Uzbekistan where I supported the development of EAP provision within a validated transnational model led by the University of Reading. These experiences have informed my interest in how educational practices, curricula and institutional priorities are adapted and enacted across international contexts.
My doctoral research explores transnational education within international branch campuses focusing on the relationship between policy and practice through the lens of faculty enactment and institutional discourse. Methodologically, I am interested in critical discourse approaches and autoethnographic inquiry as ways of examining institutional practices, professional identities and higher education environments.
Alongside my teaching and research, I contribute to practitioner blogs and research communities within EAP and TNE. I am a committee member of the BALEAP Transnational Education Special Interest Group.
