My academic career and broader professional career have been significantly shaped by my education and research in Linguistics, in particular Applied Linguistics. I have been teaching modules in Linguistics, Academic English and English as a Foreign Language in Higher and Further Education in the UK and abroad.

I also have significant industry experience, having worked as an interpreter and translator with large businesses and government organisations in the UK.

My current research interests revolve around the topics in Corpus Linguistics, Discourse Analysis and TESOL.
