I came to the University of Leeds in 2025, to the position of Chair of Digital Education and Lead of the Centre for Research in Digital Education. Prior to that I had been at the University of Wollongong, outside of Sydney, in Australia. Before academia, I was the Chair of Fine Arts in a high school in San Franscisco, CA. I taught painting, graphic design and sculpture. I was also a member of the Technology Department, where I first started to work with teachers to support technology integration in their classes. I have 20+ years of experience researching the adoption of digital technologies, by teachers, in schools and higher education. My work draws singificantly on action and collaborative research approaches, with a strong sociological underpinning. My driving questions focus on how we can make digital technologies meaningful for teachers and students, in different learning contexts. To do this, I look to employ new digital approaches to research, such as data science methods, new digital technologies and new ways to think about educational data.
