Personal Statement
I am an Early Years Teaching Fellow at Strathclyde University and the course leader for the BA Childhood Practice degree. After graduating with an honours degree in Sociology/Psychology I initially worked as a play leader in out of school care, preschool and playgroup settings. I have been a primary teacher, nursery teacher and children’s centre manager, teaching across local authority and private sectors.
I graduated with the MEd Early Years Pedagogue degree completing a research project with a Dissertation Title of “Emotion Coaching: Moving from Behaviourism to Nurture in a Nursery Class.”
I am currently completing a PhD, with a research project focusing on supporting the development of sustained empathic practice in the early years workforce. This research considers the relationship between personal emotional constructs, emotion regulation and empathic early years practice.
