I am a Lecturer in Education and joined the School of Educational Sciences at Bangor University in September 2021 with responsibility for our PhD/EdD Programmes as Postgraduate Research Lead. In addition, I teach, supervise and tutor across ITE, Masters and Doctoral programmes and am a personal tutor for PGCE Secondary postgraduates. Beyond the School of Educational Sciences, I am the College of Human Sciences representative on the Sustainability Strategy Group and a member of a Bangor-wide collaborative research group named Places of Climate Change (PloCC). I have various research interests which focus on teacher education, mentoring, school geography, encountering place, and the 11-18 school curriculum.

I was previously a lecturer in the School of Education, University of Leicester, holding a number of roles including PGCE Subject Lead, SCITT Academic Lead, Research Methods Module Lead on the MSc Educational Leadership programme and Doctoral supervisor. I started my career teaching school geography in a range of secondary schools in the UK and abroad, working as examiner/senior examiner and exam author (AQA, Edexcel and OCR), consulting for a range of educational organisations including the GA, RGS-IBG and FSC leading national training events and authoring a range of textbooks and resources for students and teachers.

I am an active member of the geography education community; a member of the Geographical Association’s (GA) Teacher Education Phase Committee and the Teaching Geography Editorial Board. I am a regular contributor to GA publications and co-authored The Handbook of Secondary Geography (Jones, 2017) and Top Spec title Changing Places (Rawlings Smith et al, 2016). Over the last two years I have supported NASBTT as Subject Network Lead for Secondary Geography. I am a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), Chartered Geographer (and assessor thereof) and interview panellist for the Geography Teacher Training Scholarship programme (DfE/RGS-IBG). I work as an External Examiner for the University of Reading (PGCE Geography) and Liverpool Hope University (SD Secondary PGCE) and I am a member of the Geography Education Research Collective, IPDA Cymru Committee, and BELMAS Reflective Practice RIG.
