I lead the development of the digital learning environment that supports our UG programmes, and I lead TILT who work in partnership with staff as we seek effective ways to enhance the student learning experience. My academic background is Applied Physics at Edinburgh Napier University where my PhD involved mathematical modelling of spectroscopy data from a clinical MRI scanner. More recently I completed a PgDip in Educational Technology with TESOL, and became a Senior Fellow of Higher Education Academy.

Originally from Newcastle upon Tyne, I am the Medical Artist in the TILT team. I create illustrations, 3D models, infographics and animations to enhance both student and staff learning. I have an extensive interest in the relationship between art and science.

My role is to introduce new technology to improve content and delivery of teaching within the School of Medicine for both staff and students. Front end development and user interface is a large part of my job. I also develop learning resources and support the student’s selected components with their digital learning projects.
Always happy to help!

In my current role, I provide technical support to staff in the lecture theatres and other learning spaces at Ninewells. I work closely with the central University AV Support Team to resolve technical issues and upgrade classroom equipment, enhancing the AV experience for everyone. I also conduct training sessions for staff on Mentimeter and other classroom technologies.

I support the Year 1-3 MBChB program by maintaining the Moodle platform. I work on creating and updating quizzes, ensuring that the course content is current and well-organized. With a background in Biological Science and previous experience as an educator, I enjoy collaborating with educators to enhance the student learning experience.
