Profile
I joined the School of Education at Liverpool JMU in 2021, as senior lecturer in Education and Early Childhood Studies, after ten years teaching in Childhood and Youth Studies at Bangor University. Prior to beginning a career in higher education, I worked as a translator, a language teacher (French, Spanish and EFL) in London and Mauritius, and as a children’s participation project worker in Liverpool.
