    Research

    I completed a small scale research study on Transition between Reception and Year in 2010. In 2011 I worked with a colleague on a study, which explored the factors that supported students who were first generation into Higher Education. In 2012 I co-presented an investigation into student views on 'Enrichment Activities at TEAN'.
