Background
I joined the University as a Bicentennial Educational Fellow in July 2012. Before then I worked as a Community Educator with a Local Authority in the Lothians. I gained a wide range of experience in working with young people and adults in various school and community settings.

I have been a member of the CONCEPT journal editorial board since 1998 and have been journal editor since 2012.
