Role

I am a HE Lecturer in the Nottingham School of Art and Design. I am a musician and have an MA in Music Technology and Innovation, specialising in game audio. I also undertook my FHEA in first year of teaching. My expertise lies in music performance, studio recording, sound design and game audio. I lead the following modules: Sound Design, Audio for Games and Sound for Visual Content. I approach these subjects both creatively and practically, implementing theories and concepts into practice. In sessions I try to foster independent learning alongside discussion and debate on relevant topics. I also teach on modules in the studio, incorporating my own recording experience.
