My professional journey began in fast-moving consumer goods, where I spent over a decade leading operational teams before transitioning into computing and technology. That unique path continues to inform how I teach, lead, and connect students to the real-world impact of emerging technologies.
As Senior Lecturer and Senior Tutor, I work across the School of Computing and Engineering to champion student success and guide colleagues through strategic initiatives. I’m also the Academic Lead for Student Futures in Computing and Cyber, where I support employability initiatives and work closely with industry partners to ensure our graduates are career-ready.
Alongside my university role, I’ve been seconded to CyNam as Strategic Ecosystem Development and Research Lead, where I collaborate with industry, academia, and government to grow Gloucestershire’s cyber and technology community. This role allows me to directly influence the regional tech ecosystem, strengthen our external partnerships, and explore key issues such as the digital skills gap.
I’m passionate about creating spaces where technology is accessible, human-focused, and socially impactful – helping both students and organisations navigate the practical applications of innovation in fields like automation, FinTech, and AI.
I teach across undergraduate computing programmes including Computer Science, Cyber Security, and Forensic Computing. I specialise in employability, agile delivery, and real-world project-based learning, and serve as Senior Tutor for the school – offering academic guidance and pastoral support to ensure students reach their full potential.
My current research focuses on how emerging technologies intersect with employability, organisational behaviour, and digital transformation. I co-author work on topics including:
Unpacking Employability Skills in Computer Science Education
Graduate Employability Through Agile Projects
I am particularly interested in the social and operational impact of technologies like AI and automation, and how these developments shape the future of work for both students and industry.
