What\u2019s your job title and how long have you been at Loughborough?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a University Teacher in Psychology and I’ve been here since September 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us what a typical day in your job looks like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During semester time, I teach quite a lot so I’m either in a lecture theatre or in my office preparing for that week’s teaching. As I’m a Module Leader for multiple modules, some of the work is more admin based such as updating Learn documents and planning assessments and marking.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On teaching days, I can be doing a number of things such as meeting with personal tutees or dissertation students about their work. I also have times where I am purely marking (with limited meetings). As I teach cohorts of up to 350 students, there is often a lot of work to mark, although this is not done by me only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favourite project you\u2019ve worked on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have recently completed a project on Vevox to show how much our students enjoy using it during teaching sessions. I presented this work at the International Conference on Psychology, Counselling and Education and have recently had an article accepted for publication within Psychology Teaching Review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your proudest moment at Loughborough?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being awarded a STAR Award from the School of Sport Exercise and Health Sciences for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Education and Student Experience’ in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us something you do outside of work that we might not know about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m just learning how to play darts. My partner has played darts for many years and he is now teaching me how to play. I even have my own set of darts now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite quote?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do one thing every day that scares you.” -Eleanor Roosevelt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
