Personal profile

Biography

After teaching in Primary, Middle and Junior schools in Norfolk for 18 years I joined the Primary PGCE team at UEA in January 2014. A lecturer in Primary Education (Mathematics), I also occasionally lend my interests in coding to the computing team. I am very keen to get adults and children to realise that Mathematics can be fun to teach, learn and most importantly use in everyday life. I am a big fan of puzzles as a route into enjoyable mathematics and want everyone to recognise that maths is an unavoidable part of life, and is not something that people "can't do".
