BIO

I am a Senior Lecturer specialising in Health and Physical Education. My work is driven by a passion for teaching and a commitment to advancing the field through research and practice. My research interests span curriculum, assessment, and policy, as well as the experiences of early career teachers navigating the profession.

 

Beyond these areas, I am deeply engaged with questions of relationality and affect, exploring how these dimensions connect to Health and Physical Education and shape our collective capacity to attune more productively to the world. I bring a strong sense of responsibility toward the planet and seek to foster approaches that promote meaningful, sustainable connections between people, education, and environment.
