Bio

I have a background in creative media and design, training as a filmmaker before moving into education. I worked in film production and tv broadcasting, including at the BBC as a Content Producer, before becoming Head of Creative Arts at Fareham College in Hampshire, UK. In 2014 I took up a role at the University of Southampton leading the Digital Learning Team. This award-winning team helps researchers and educators create learning materials and media content and supports the adoption of new technologies for teaching and scholarship. In 2018 I joined the Department of Modern Languages at CMU. I am the Director for the Askwith Kenner Global Languages & Cultures Room, supporting language learning and cultural study through the use of immersive technologies. I continue to work as an artist practitioner, in VR creation, immersive design, and 360 ̇documentary. My work has been featured in publications and journals, and contributed to podcasts and talks, and is a regular session leader at The Playful Learning Conference in the UK.
