Year One Tutor: Computing Programmes 

 

I attended Sunderland University to study BSc (Hons) Business Administration as an undergraduate, then decided to do the MSc in Computer Based Information Systems. One of the reasons for this change in subject was that I realised that business wasn’t for me and didn’t challenge me in the way I had been hoping for. Therefore, after a few years, I decided to go back to study computing because it was, and continues to be, a growing industry in as much as computers will never go away.

After my Masters, I spent a couple of years doing research and teaching at Sunderland, then joined Northumbria in January 2002. As well as my teaching I also try to keep my hand in with research in areas of interest. However, the biggest buzz I get from the job can be summed up in one word - graduation! Seeing the students achievements recognised and all the hard work and ‘pain’ suddenly seems worthwhile!

In my spare time, I enjoy walking Molly my dog, gardening (although you wouldn’t know if you could see my garden), photography, reading, history, crafts...
