About

With over a decade of experience in education, music production, and community engagement, I bring a unique blend of academic expertise, practical industry knowledge, and innovative teaching approaches. Currently pursuing a PhD in Education, my research focuses on experience-based learning and student-led education in sound engineering, aligning with ICMP s commitment to fostering creativity and professional development in students. My career spans roles as a PGCE Lecturer at Deep Blue Sound, where I developed and delivered industry-focused curricula, and as a freelance tour manager and sound engineer, coordinating international tours and live events. As a musician, my work has been distributed globally through labels such as Sony and Warner Brothers, providing me with a deep understanding of the music industry and its demands. In addition to academic and industry roles, I have extensive experience in curriculum development, research dissemination, and student mentorship. At Deep Blue Sound, I designed modules that incorporated blended learning and creative teaching methods, empowering students to think critically and independently. My expertise in digital resources, including Moodle and social media platforms, has enabled me to create engaging and accessible learning materials, fostering inclusive environments for diverse learners. Key achievements include presenting research at national and international conferences, leading community-based research initiatives on the creative industries, and producing academic publications in education and sound engineering. I am also proficient in artist development, digital marketing strategies, and stakeholder engagement, providing students with valuable insights into the wider music industry. Through my collaborative and student-centred approach, I aim to inspire the next generation of audio professionals by combining academic rigour with real-world experience. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to ICMP s vibrant learning community as a Senior Lecturer in Audio Production, sharing my passion for education, sound engineering, and innovation.
