I support the development and practical application of the wide range of TEL tools available to staff and students at Aberystywth University. I research technical solutions that enhance the user experience of teaching and learning.I aid in the implementation of the University strategy relating to TEL, accessibility, provision of training, consultation, support materials and technical support. I have a background in teaching History and English in the UK and abroad. I enjoy experimenting with new technology and streamlining processes to make them more accessible. I have worked in the HE sector providing technical support since 2010.I speak Welsh as my second language and am passionate about its use.
