When I first went to university, I suppose I envisaged a different career than the one I have now as I studied Commerce in Dublin. I didn’t really enjoy it so I changed subjects at postgraduate level and enrolled on the MSc in Information and Library Management here at Northumbria and I loved it! I now teach here (joined in 2000) after a spell at Newcastle College and, as you might expect, my interests have developed into broader subjects within the ILM field.

I enjoy very much the interactions with colleagues and students as well as the opportunities to develop modules that I’m interested in and committed to. At certain times of the year, I also get the chance to think about new ideas and I’m towards starting a PhD this year.

My idea of ultimate luxury is to spend a long time reading  the Sunday papers with coffee and orange juice, as is spending three hours reading a book from cover to cover, going to the movies, concerts, going swimming, walking on the beach, running or meeting friends.
