About the role

I initially joined the University of Edinburgh as a member of staff in 2014 to help build the new online MSc in Carbon Management. Being alumni of the on-campus programme gave me an emotional attachment to the project. I knew that I wanted to provide all our online students access to the outstanding education gained from The University of Edinburgh and the sense of community that I cherished and still enjoy. While working, I decided to take up the opportunity of a staff bursary to pursue a PG Cert in Digital Education through Moray House School of Education. This programme helped me understand the pedagogical theory and skills required for online teaching, but it also gave me the beneficial first-hand experience of being an online student. I am currently working at the University of Edinburgh as a Digital Education Designer and University Teacher. This role includes postgraduate teaching and continued development of the MSc Carbon Management (online) programme, as well as the development of a suite of international climate solution MOOCs.
