Having qualified as a teacher from Chester College of Higher education (now the University of Chester), I enjoyed teaching in primary schools in Cheshire for 23 years. During this time, I became a deputy head teacher and also worked as a Literacy consultant for the local authority, providing CPD for teachers and supporting school improvement initiatives.
I started working full time at the university in January 2014.
