Academic qualifications
MA in Education and Learning, BA (Hons) Outdoor Activities Management, Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training, Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills Status (QTLS), Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Process and Practice, NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing, NCFE Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training, Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage and HEA – Fellowship
I specialise in sports psychology, sports coaching, outdoor adventurous activities, and research projects. I teach on the NCFE Level 2 Diploma, Level 3 Sport and Exercise Science courses, and our Level 3 Sports Development & Coaching course, where I connect theory to real-world practice to build my students’ skills and confidence.
My professional background includes years working in the outdoor industry, coaching various sports, and working with awarding organisations on quality assurance. As a current Pearson Standards Verifier (for BTEC), I’ve developed exams and learning resources (for example for NCFE) and therefore have deep insight into assessment standards and what excellence really looks like. I’m also able to bring current industry expectations into my classes, linking coaching experiences to practical application so my students complete the course ready for employment or further study.
