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!

I support the Year 1-3 MBChB program by maintaining the Moodle platform. I collaborate with educators to develop interactive digital learning resources and lead training sessions for staff on tools like Mentimeter and other classroom technologies. Additionally, I provide technical support to staff in teaching spaces within the Medical School at Ninewells. With a background in Biological Science and Education, I’m passionate about enhancing student learning through technology.
