My background is originally in healthcare. More recently, I have had many years’ experience of online distance education, both as an educator and a student, and in supporting colleagues to develop their skills in inclusive online teaching. I currently work as a Lecturer in Technology Enhanced Learning at Lancaster University, where I support PhD students based all over the world and doing amazing research. I love stories and I specialize in narrative approaches to research. I am interested in the relationship between people and technology, the affordances of online spaces, how we build communities in those spaces and how we use technology to make high quality education more equitable and accessible.

I enjoy being involved with MYFEST because it connects me with learners and educators in many different places and contexts and I learn so much from them.
