Biography

I have taught at BU since Sept 1999 supporting students and Lecturers in a range of units, mostly at L4. I have been deeply involved in the First Year Experience and have been involved in Peer Assisted Learning for many years. I have also provided pastoral support to students in a number of ways, including as First Year Tutor. This role then became Academic Advisor and I continue to do this alongside helping other AA's to give the students the best experience and support as the Academic Advisor Administrator for Computing.

My teaching roles have covered a number of areas including Databases, Programming, Systems Analysis & Design and also Professional Practices.
