About Me

As a Lecturer in Art & Design, Coding, Cybersecurity, Digital Skills and Marketing, I have a broad range of skills and plenty of experience. I train the public, staff and students and develop engaging professional content, instructional design and streamlined workflows. My aim is always to support and inspire while leveraging the latest technology to efficiently deliver great results.

 

My “one interesting thing about yourself” for warm-ups in group work is that, as test subject for the  BBC Acorn, I was the first child in the UK to learn on a home computer. So I’ve been in Digital for as long as there’s been Digital and, having shared in the journey, I’ve witnessed firsthand its transformative capacity to empower individuals and businesses alike.

​

I love movies (even quite bad ones), VR and gaming, good cafes and great books. I also enjoy working with wood and renovating old houses. A keen archer, I swim two miles a week, play chess and love food.
