I am an architect and lecturer at Manchester School of Architecture, teaching across Professional Studies , Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 programmes. Since 2022, I have contributed to curriculum design, assessment, and academic leadership within Professional Studies, including roles as Professional Studies Tutor, Unit Lead, and Continuing Professional Studies Advisor.
I am a RIBA Chartered Architect and ARB Registered Architect with over 20 years’ experience in professional practice, and Director of ICE Arch Ltd, a RIBA Chartered Practice working primarily in the residential sector, with experience across commercial and community projects. My professional practice informs a teaching approach that is practice-based, inclusive, and closely aligned with ARB and RIBA Professional Criteria.
My teaching focuses on professional ethics, practice management, procurement, regulation, and professional formation, with an emphasis on live professional contexts, reflective learning, and employability. I am actively involved in curriculum development at MSA and contribute to wider school initiatives.
