I am currently an Associate Head Global Engagement and Educational Partnerships  for the School of Film, Media, and Creative Technologies. I have extensive experience in post-production (I am a professional Avid instructor), teaching and learning, and television acquisition and delivery. I have worked for a range of UK and International broadcasters, production companies and corporate companies (Meridian, Channel 4, Wyatt Media and Oasis, etc) before joining the University of Portsmouth as an academic.

I became an Avid Certified Instructor in 2011, and in 2012 embedded the Avid curriculum within Level 4 and 5 taught units. Students can utilise this learning by taking an accredited Avid User Exam for Avid Media Composer version 8.4.

I am currently involved with the Mary Rose Trust on a project that will see their 40-year tape-based media library digitisied and archived for future generations to explore. This HEIF funded project has seen a considerable collabration take place between broadcasters, The Mary Rose Trust and The Univertsity of Portsmouth, with both old and new technologies being utilised in innovative ways. 

in 2018 we were awarded the NewTek National Award for Best UK Content for the Live OB - The Mary Rose Live: Human Endeavours by BSc (Hons) Television and Broadcasting students at University of Portsmouth, and I received NewTek UK Tutor of the Year. 

In 2019 we received two NewTek National Awards for the TV programes NHS70 Live (winning Best Live Broadcast) and The Wymering Manor Investigation (winning Best Factual Content). 

In 2020 I was awarded a VC Award for my contributions to CCI TV, various civic engagement activities, and for various industry collaborative projects.
