I am a Senior Lecturer in Primary Education at the University of Worcester and teach students on the Primary BA ITE pathway and Primary PGCE pathway. Before joining the university in April 2018, I worked in Gloucestershire schools for 10 years as a class teacher, Mathematics Subject Leader and as part of Senior Leadership Teams. My main teaching/leadership background is within Key Stage 1 and EYFS – appreciating (and enjoying!) the exciting challenge of working with young children!

I am passionate about all children having access to excellent mathematics learning opportunities, particularly related to reasoning and problem-solving.  I also aim to help others find enjoyment in teaching mathematics – it is the best subject to teach!

I have had experience with supporting a wide range of student teachers, early career teachers, teaching assistants and class teachers. I have been fortunate to run the ECT SKTM Work Groups for the past few years. I really enjoy the opportunity to work with others in order to help develop a community of strong mathematics practice.
