I moved to University College Birmingham in 2014 as a lecturer in bakery. Since starting at University College Birmingham I have taught in further education and higher education and have been module lead for specialist confectionery and advanced patisserie and confectionery within our Bakery and patisserie foundation degree. 6 Years on I was then appointed senior lecturer for Further Education in bakery and was programme lead for level 3.
