I am a Senior Lecturer in Academic Professional Development, an ILM qualified performance coach, and a chartered information professional, with sixteen years’ experience of working in the UK Further and Higher Education sector.
I lead the APEX Framework which is comprised of the Academic Professional Apprenticeship and open route to Advance HE accreditation.

Engaging with an audience to share my knowledge, motivate and enable learning is something I am passionate about. Over the years, I have collaborated with CILIP, Internet Librarian International, University College London, London Information and Knowledge Exchange, CPD25, Information Literacy Group, Special Libraries Association and Tinder Foundation.

I am currently working on a PhD looking at coaching and staff wellbeing.

Coaching and mindfulness practices in academia. Identities and values.
