Biography
After completing a five-year degree specialising in English Philology in 1991, I worked as a Language Assistant and part-time Lecturer in Spanish at Manchester Metropolitan University (1991-1995). From 1995-1998 I was a Lecturer in Spanish and Spanish Subject Leader at Bournemouth University, where I developed the BA Spanish strand of the BA Modern Languages, validated by HEFCE. I was a Lecturer (1998-2004) and Senior Lecturer (2004-2008) at Northumbria University, where I coordinated the Spanish University-Wide Unilang and Unilang Plus programmes and co-supervised the Postgraduate Programme in Hispanic Studies. I worked as a Teaching Fellow in Spanish at the University of Exeter (2009-2010) and as a Senior Teaching Associate in Spanish at Lancaster University (2011-2018), where I led the development of the Distance Learning MA Translation and chaired the Language Committee before joining the University of Sussex in 2019.
