I'm an AI Consultant at the University of Oxford's AI Competency Centre. My academic background is in linguistics, with degrees from the University of Western Australia and the University of Melbourne.

Before joining Oxford, I lectured on phonetics and phonology at the University of Bangor and was a Trinity DipTESOL-qualified English for Academic Purposes tutor and Technology Enhanced Learning and Language Lead at Bangor University International College, where working with international students and responding to their specific needs informed my practice of integrating AI productively to assist with academic and linguistic proficiency.

My focus is integrating AI into higher education in ways that enhance communication, reduce bias, and expand access to knowledge. I'm particularly interested in how AI can address the unique challenges of groups facing linguistic barriers and neurodivergence, creating more inclusive and accessible educational environments.

I advocate for a balanced approach that maintains human involvement and fosters critical thinking alongside AI implementation. My work explores innovative ways to incorporate this philosophy into pedagogical and assessment design, ensuring that AI tools complement and enrich education.
