I joined Hartpury University in November 2020 after experiences within Secondary PE and Further Education teaching. I completed my undergraduate in Sports Coaching and PE, achieving a First-Class Honours, going on to complete a PGCE in Secondary Education with enhancements in PSHE and SEND. Whilst teaching, it led me to also complete an MA in Professional Education Practice, acquiring a Distinction. I achieved Fellow status of the Higher Education Academy in April 2022.
I am currently the Programme Manager of the FdSc Sport Performance and Coaching programme alongside the BSc (Hons) Sport Performance Top Up (Level 6 Entry). I am an Academic Personal Tutor for various PE and FdSc student cohorts.
Externally, I am an FA Coach Mentor for England Football Learning focusing on the Women and Girls section with intentional coaches in Gloucestershire. Additionally, I am also a UEFA C Coach Developer.
