She said: “Lifetime’ makes me feel very old … but then when I look back, I realise that I’ve been teaching and supporting deaf young people for just over 30 years now. I have been extremely lucky to have worked with some incredible people along the way. Within schools, colleges and for the last 28 years at the University of Central Lancashire, co-ordinating the BSL & Deaf Studies degree course. I could not be where I am today without the incredible support and friendship of my colleagues.”

Her interests lie in access for deaf students within higher education, the pedagogy of deaf learners and more recently as a result of completing a professional doctorate, deaf graduates and employability.
