After completing a PGCE (post-compulsory) with Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, I taught Teacher Education, English, English for Academic Purposes, Maths and German in Adult, Further and Higher Education institutions in Kent and London for several years whilst dreaming of being a PhD student. Since completing my PhD with the Plymouth Institute of Education at the University of Plymouth, UK, I have presented at conferences and adapted my thesis as a book for publication with Cambridge Scholars Publishing. Through the use of storying and other post qualitative inquiries, this book challenges discursively constructed structures and conventional academic writing practices in the academy. I currently support university students with developing their writing and other academic skills.
