Biography

I joined the University of Glasgow in January 2017 from a professional background in early learning and childcare, having worked with children and young people aged 0 - 14 in various practitioner, leadership and management roles in Scotland, England, Czech Republic and the Netherlands. A committed lifelong learner, I am currently undertaking a part-time PhD focused on modern apprentices in the childcare sector, while teaching across the Childhood Practice programmes, and pursuing scholarship projects around the learning experiences of these non-traditional students.

Research interests

In relation to scholarship of teaching and learning, I am currently investigating professional learning journeys with colleagues in the University of Glasgow Childhood Practice teaching team.

My doctoral research focuses on support for modern apprentices working in the Scottish childcare sector.
