I have been at UEL since September 2013. Prior to this I taught on the Early Childhood and Primary Education courses at the University of Cumbria (Tower Hamlets Campus).
Most of my professional career has been based in the field of primary, early childhood and special education, where I have worked as a primary school teacher, early years teacher, Deputy Head, SENCO, and early years consultant.
I have worked mainly in inner London local authorities, although my teaching career started overseas in Moscow, where I was based for 3 years, and Australia.
