I am originally from the Caribbean and have worked in universities in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. I currently work in the UK, where my primary field is in learning and teaching approaches of students and teachers in universities. I am particularly interested in understanding how students and teachers from marginalised groups adapt to university life.
My current work involves investigating how international academics adapt to different teaching situations when they migrate and how they are made to be feel included and welcomed.
I have previously explored how students learn mathematics with technology and use technology in their university years. I have an interest in gender studies and mental & well-being.
