Professional interests
Having lived abroad and taught students from culturally diverse backgrounds for many years, I am interested in all aspects of international education. I have recently been appointed the Erasmus Exchange tutor for the Education Studies programme. I have also completed my Master's degree in Education; my dissertation focussed on the intercultural competence of academic staff.
Using this knowledge base, I plan to further develop my academic experience through undertaking doctoral work.
Research interests
Recent research projects have centred on the internationalisation of higher education. Specifically, I am interested in how the needs of both European and international students can be met through various academic support mechanisms and inclusive teaching strategies.
