My Story
As Educational Impact and Evaluation Officer at Aston University, I bring extensive experience in educational research and student representation to my work. My passion lies in exploring how technology and innovative teaching approaches can transform learning experiences.
Through my work on the Digital Learning Across Boundaries project, I've collaborated internationally to investigate how immersive technologies can break down educational barriers and develop changemakers.
Having served as Students' Union President and Vice President Education at the University of Northampton, I understand deeply the importance of student voice in shaping higher education. I'm excited to work with Coole Insight to help students' unions amplify their impact, and to support Independent Higher Education providers in strengthening their student voice practices.
My research background spans teacher education, digital learning, and educational policy, complemented by my experience as a TEF Panel Member for the Office for Students. With a master's distinction in Education and expertise in both primary teaching and higher education, I'm committed to evidence-based approaches that enhance teaching quality and student outcomes.
