Background

I am a current Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, lecturing on the MA Learning in Communities programme. My background is in Community Learning and Development (CLD), where I have over 15 years of experience as a CLD practitioner. During this time, my focus was on working in urban and rural locations throughout Scotland to deliver adult and family learning.

My current role involves teaching, supervision, and course organisation on the MA Learning in Communities programme.

I completed my PhD in 2019. My thesis is titled 'Finding the Female Irish Catholic Diaspora: A qualitative investigation of the experiences of women in Glasgow.'
