The national scheme celebrates and recognises individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession in higher education.

Since I started working in Higher Education, I have been passionate about enabling and empowering adult learning. I have focused on innovation in learning, teaching and assessment and providing high quality educational experiences, which are accessible for all, drawing upon my own experiences as an adult learner to help to shape and form my practice.

“Throughout my academic journey and across universities, I have been privileged to work closely with academic colleagues and professional service staff, who put students at the heart of everything they do. Together, we ensure that learners have the necessary infrastructure and support to succeed. To have this acknowledged through such a prestigious award means a lot to me.”
