Describe your approach to teaching
I approach pedagogy with transformation through education in mind, focusing on the learner’s journey while facilitating and encouraging pupils to deepen knowledge and understanding, supporting them to grow in confidence and success.

What inspires your own work?
I’m inspired by the movement and forgeability of steel, combining traditional techniques with contemporary ideas to create objects that act as their own critics while engaging and interacting with the viewer.
