About

As academic lead, I am involved in overseeing the delivery and development of modules on program pathways. The majority of my time is taken up in lecturing – preparing lectures and delivering them. My qualifications are in philosophy and I possess a four-year single honours degree in philosophy (first class) and a PhD in philosophy.

I was previously a tutor in philosophy at Swansea University and have taught at the College for the last twelve years. Outside of work I enjoy Music, film and literature and have a keen interest in politics. I hope to be able to foster your academic and extra curricular interests and goals.
