About Me

I am a doctoral candidate at the University or Warwick researching teamwork in Higher Education and intercultural competence. I have international experience in teaching and learning. I have a keen interest in the relationship between culture and working in diverse teams, which is what my PhD is focussing on. This research contributes new insights into how students negotiate and achieve group tasks in a university setting.

I am also a member of the WACC Research Group.

Other Interests

Volunteering and raising money for charitable causes

I have been involved in volunteering and raising money for charitable causes for many years. In 2007 I cycled the length of the UK (LEJOG) raising over £2000 for the NACCP and Transplants in Mind. I have also been involved in fund raising for World Aids Day (2006 & 2007), raising money for CALM in 2015 by completing the Three Peaks Challenge and raising money for British Heart Foundation through running the Warwick Half Marathon in 2014.

More recently I spent a week in Dunkirk and Calais volunteering at the MSF Camp in Grande-Synthe and I am now helping Kiron Open Higher Education, a German organisation which helps refugees access higher education, conduct research into the status of their students and how they use the Kiron platform.

Sports

I am a keen runner and swimmer, havinging competed in several half marathons and 10K races.
