I joined Cambridge University Press and Assessment in January 2025 after completing my PhD in Education at the University of Cambridge. My PhD project examined the feedback design, classroom intervention and the evaluation of an innovative assessment / pedagogical approach known as Dynamic Assessment, supported by computerised programmes to promote equity in second language learning context. Prior to my PhD, I was a university lecturer in English Language and Literature and Applied Linguistics, with extensive experience in teaching, research, supervision and assessment.
Passionate about research, I have disseminated my findings through various channels, including journal articles, book chapters, conference presentations, and invited talks. My general research interests lie in the interaction between teaching, learning, assessment and curriculum, with a particular focus on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of learning, educational assessment and technology-enhanced language learning. During my time in the Research Division, I have worked on several projects related to education and curriculum, and I am currently involved in projects in the area of qualifications and assessment, such as a justification study on auto-marking for AS Level English General Paper.
I currently sit on the Editorial Panel of the Cambridge Journal of Education and act as a Data Champion for the University of Cambridge. I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, kayaking, visiting museums and exploring different types of coffee (I feel completely myself when holding a coffee cup).
