Biography

I am an Induction & Transitions Adviser at the University of Glasgow. I work with students at all levels, focusing on enabling transition at key points in students’ journeys. I have a background working with adult returners and widening participation students on developing academic literacies. Other areas of interest include visual and material literacies, and reflective practice. I hold Fellowship of Recognising Excellence in Teaching (RET), which is a University of Glasgow recognition scheme aligned to the UK PSF, and Certified Practitioner (Fellow) of ALDinHE.  I am a reviewer for the Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, and was nominated for the ‘Reviewer of the year’ award in 2024. In previous lives, I worked as a debt and housing adviser in the third sector, and a researcher in theology and visual culture; both continue to influence my work as a learning developer.

How can I help learning developers?
