Tutor (Business)

I joined the University in May 2021 as a Business Tutor on the Foundation Year course and I am currently the unit coordinator for the Aspiring to Succeed unit. Before joining the university I worked for 11 years in the Further Education sector as a Travel and Tourism lecturer teaching levels 1 -5.

Prior to teaching I held various positions within the travel and tourism field including cabin crew, business travel consultant and account manager for a global online reservations company. This experience has been very beneficial to my teaching roles.

Outside of work I enjoy travelling and bringing my experiences into the classroom.
