Profile
Biography
I started my career at Essex Pathways Department since October 2008 as a tutor in Economics. In 2009, I became a module leader teaching IA106 Introduction to Economics for foundation year student. From 2008 to 2014, I taught various modules, including Methods of Economic Analysis and Introduction to Economics for Accelerated Route students. I also taught Quantitative Methods and Finance for International Year One students. My passion has always been teaching. I continuously seek opportunities to improve my teaching methods, helping students understand and enjoy learning economics by engaging them with real-life examples. Over the years, I have taken various roles in the department, such as Frontrunner Supervisor, Senior Tutor, Course Director, Departmental Disability Liaison Officer (DDLO). These experiences have taught me how these roles are interconnected in supporting students. This academic year, I have taken a new role as Director of Education. I am excited to collaborate with colleagues both within and outside the department to ensure the highest quality of education and student success.
