I am a qualified teacher with a specialism of working with young children aged 3 to 7 years. I have taught in Leeds and Bury as a teacher in Nursery, Reception, Year 1, 2 and Year 3. I have held the role of Deputy Headteacher. I then moved to work as an adviser for Early Years working where I also worked in a Nursery School and Children's Centre as a Senior Teacher. I then moved into university teaching whilst at the same time being a pedagogue to Children's Centres in Knowsley. At the present time I work for Edge Hill as a senior lecturer where I teach on both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

My current research focuses on documentation practices through posthuman, feminist materialism and post qualitative theories. I have research interests in affective theories, emotions and resistance to dominant discourses.
