Following completion of a Foundation course in Science at Stafford University, I obtained a BSc in Biomedicinal Chemistry and Biochemistry from Keele University in 1999 and went on to study for my PhD in Organometllic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, Keele University. In 2001 I joined Keele University as a technician and teacher assistant.
After spending 3 years in Keele, Staffordshire, I joined Loughborough University as a Teaching Fellow within the Chemistry Department. In 2007 I became Part A Coordinator, in 2015 Programme Director and 2017 Foundation Programme Leader.
