Biography

Since joining the Essex Pathways Department in October 2008 as a tutor in Economics, I’ve built a career rooted in inclusive teaching, curriculum innovation, and student support, guiding foundation-year students through the fundamentals of economic thinking. In 2009, I became the module leader for IA106 Introduction to Economics, which later evolved into IA130 Economic Foundations and Effective Management in 2024. From October 2025, my teaching portfolio will extend to include IA128 Mathematics and Statistics for Science. Teaching has always been my passion. I’m committed to refining my methods to make learning both accessible and engaging — often weaving real-world examples into lessons to help students connect theory with lived experience. Beyond the classroom, I’ve taken on a range of responsibilities that have broadened my insight into individual needs and how the department functions. These include roles such as Frontrunner Supervisor, Senior Advisor, Course Director, and Departmental Disability Liaison Officer (DDLO). Each position has shown me how academic, wellbeing, and operational efforts work together to create meaningful outcomes. Currently, I serve as Director of Education, working with colleagues across and beyond the department to strengthen teaching, improve engagement, and contribute to a positive learning environment.
