As an experienced and enthusiastic educator with a practitioner business background I have worked internally at LJMU and externally helping to shape inclusive and fair practice. My personal mission has been to extend educational opportunities to those who may have found themselves excluded. I have developed professional practice teaching and learning within my professional field of HR and work extensively as a volunteer with CIPD. I was awarded the highest level of CIPD membership becoming a Companion in recognition of my work at Branch and North Region level. I have been involved in national level policy development fora considering the role of professional bodies and levels of influence on government and industry leaders.I am a member of SEDA Professional Development Framework committee reviewing institutional membership applications and changes to professional standards for SEDA.

Inclusive practice and the power of this to change lives drives my involvement with inclusion related projects both within LJMU and in the wider community. I am passionate about supporting and encouraging engagement with learning. Creating a learning environment where new methodologies, technologies and difference can be welcomed will be part of the challenge facing educators in an increasingly volatile student market. My PhD is in Modern History and my thesis is titled" Experiences of Education 1944-1979 in Everton, Liverpool." This work supports my thinking in inclusive educational practice as class inequality continues to disadvantage those whose talents and energy are needed by society. Working as a volunteer with Amnesty International, DaDaFest and the Bluecoat I have gained the strategic and financial management experience to support organisations, particularly those working with a volunteer base, to sustainable positions.

Current projects include developing a collaboration with the Irish Government to consider the relationship between Irish and Caribbean slaves. Additionally, I continue to work to recognise the student voice and student participation in the governance process.
