I am a Senior Digital Education Developer in the College of Social Sciences supporting technology-enhanced teaching, learning and assessment. I lead the AI in Education working group, with a strategic focus on the exploration, implementation, and support of AI technologies for teaching and learning across the University.

I joined University of Birmingham in October 2023 but have been supporting learning in Higher Education as a Lecturer and Learning Designer since 2018. I have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2021 and have also worked extensively in the photographic and fine art sectors, with over 10 years' experience in the field. 

My research interests include: the role of digital tools for developing accessible learning experiences, critical pedagogy and the intersection of art and science.
