Since 1988 I have had a varied career within the university sector teaching e-Business, IT, statistics, and quantitative methods within the School of Computing, Teesside University Business School, School of Social Sciences, Business and Law, and since 2018 within Teesside Business School.

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) and in 2002 was awarded the status of Teesside University Teaching Fellow.

Professionally, I have been a member of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications as a Chartered Mathematician (until 2004) and a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society (until 2004).

My learning and teaching research includes the application of open learning and IT in the learning, teaching and assessment of e-Business and statistics courses and I have undertaken consultancy work in providing learning and teaching advice to other universities, professional bodies, and publishers within the area of e-Business, statistics and quantitative methods.
