Biography

Before joining the University of Sheffield as the Creative Web Developer in May 2009, I worked as a Front-end Developer for MyKnowledgeMap, an elearning company based in my hometown of York. It was my first job after graduating from Teesside University with a BSc (Hons) in Web Development. Working for the University has given me the opportunity to complete the education lifecycle; from being a student myself, to producing elearning content vehicles (for universities) and now working to promote the University.

In my spare time I enjoy photography, motorsport, travel, music and film.
