I spent around 20 years working in the English Language Teaching industry as a teacher, teacher trainer and examiner.

My personal and professional life often cross; I am passionate about education, whether it is language teaching, teacher development or providing access to education to disenfranchised groups.  As a volunteer I teach refugees academic skills and English Language and even provide teacher training when I travel .

Interests

The UK “self-harms” its reputation, position in the international student market, economy and its HE industry. This is through the introduction of barriers such as stringent UKVI regulations, scrappage of post-study visa, tuition fees increase and the impact of BREXIT. With HE industry in constant flux, universities are forced to adapt, merge or simply not survive. I have developed a passion for project management within HE.

I have always had great interest in World War 2 (WW2), its causes and post-war impact. I believe WW2 should be included in schools’ curricula, lest generations forget and ignore or tolerate similar signs.

After this time, I decided to come to the UK where I realised that, due to my own experiences, my calling was to work in education and attempt to provide the kind of excellent service that every student deserves.

In January 2017 I discovered my true calling by commencing studies in a Counselling qualification, prompting a move into the Centre for Student Engagement, Wellbeing and Success where I have been able to engage my empathy and passion to assist students and ensure their success in my capacity as Student Wellbeing Advisor.
