My profile
Biography
I moved to Manchester to study for my MA in Education Studies programme, at Manchester Met. During the course of my studies, I worked with children and young people in a variety of settings (children centres, secondary school, and college) and roles.
Before coming to work at Manchester Met, I taught in the Education Studies undergraduate programme, at Liverpool Hope University.
My research explores the intersections of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within decolonial and anti-racist approaches.
