About me
I have over 20 years’ experience in professional tuition, examination and marking operations in an international setting. I believe in the power of education, and have a strong sense of fairness.

I am in the second year of my PhD, focusing on Learning Analytics Dashboards, Self-Regulated Learning and feedback relating to assessment in professional learning. My aim is to support learners through my practical experience and academic knowledge.
