In August 2015, June joined the University of Strathclyde on secondment as a Teaching Fellow in the School of Education. Prior to this, June worked as a primary teacher with Glasgow City Council, where she developed a particular interest in supporting pupils with additional needs, both in the mainstream school system and in the specialist ASN sector.

With an award of MPhil in Education Studies (2005), June has continued to engage with educational policy and curriculum studies, while delivering research-informed practice in the classroom. Current research interests relate to inclusive pedagogy and mathematics in ITE; her research is ongoing within the Doctorate of Education programme at the University of Strathclyde and her study contributes to a nationwide attainment challenge project led by the Scottish Council of Deans of Education. Her first paper in this research area was published in the Scottish Education Review journal in May 2020. 

In her current role as Teaching Fellow within the School of Education, June has held responsibility for leading Pedagogy and Placement Learning (PPL) modules for students on both the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) and the B.A. Primary Education. June has been supporting the leadership of the BA Primary Educaiton programme as Depute Course Leader since Aug 2020 and also takes an active role on the course management team for the PGDE, leading on the Curriculum & Pedagogy module for primary education post-grad students.
