I like technology in general, and in particular technology applied to Languages. It is a very important element of our courses. I feel it is very motivating for students if their teacher uses new and engaging resources.

My career has been varied. I read my degree in Art History and my PGCE in Spain.

Some years later I came to the UK. I started teaching Spanish for Continuing Education at the University of Sheffield, where I studied for the RSA Certificate in Teaching Foreign Languages to Adults. I also took courses in linguistics and literature. From 1995 to 1999 I achieved a Masters qualification in Applied Linguistics and another in Translation Studies.

I was a Spanish teacher in the Modern Languages Teaching Centre, (MLTC) and in the Continuing Education Department, both at the University of Sheffield for many years. I also worked at the Language Centre at Hallam University. My time at these universities shaped my career as a linguist and a teacher of Spanish and was very rewarding. 

Upon leaving Sheffield, I became the Co-ordinator of Spanish at the University of Huddersfield (Senior Lecturer from 2000 to 2003), where I stayed for 4 years. I then took the opportunity of moving to Aberystwyth as Lifelong Learning Co-ordinator in Languages.

I was the external examiner for Spanish at the University of Glamorgan from 2006 to 2010.

I was Staff Development Officer and part of the Staff Development team from 2006 until 2016 in the School of Education and Lifelong Learning. 

Previously I have organized training workshops in collaboration with Information Services, Staff Development (CDSAP), Cilt Cymru and the University of Glamorgan.
