Why did you choose Warwick?

I had been working in education for over six years and was looking to further my studies and my career. I chose the University of Warwick because of its excellent reputation in research and high academic standards.

What are you doing now?

I am working as a senior law lecturer at the University of Law.

What motivates you to do what you do? 

I love knowing that, in some way, I am contributing to the progress of the lives I cross paths with.

How has your time at Warwick influenced what you do now?

I absolutely loved the challenging discussions we had in our small group teaching sessions and the friendships that were formed as a result.

Staying in the loop with everything that is going on at the University.
