To New Beginnings..!

“Hello world!” I’m delighted that at this stage – knock on wood – Moodle is working! Email is working! The blog is working! And I’m excited, but also slightly worried, to be starting the PgCert advnenture which I have committed to for 2024.

To be honest, I, like most have a lot on my plate.

I am the Course Leader of LCF’s largest post-graduate course MA Strategic Fashion Marketing with 80 students, I’m involved with various research and international knowledge exchange projects, some externally funded, I am writing a book which is targeted to be complete in March 2024 and on top of it all I am getting married in August! To see a little more about my work, please see HERE. It is a BIG year but I am so passionate about teaching and student experience as it is my biggest ambition to create a positive impact on the largest amount of students (or what I say leaders guiding the future of fashion) so I look forward to progressing my practice. I hope to learn more creative, inspirational, co-creative seminar activities which fall under the social constructionism school of thought. Higher eductaion is rapidly changing and I hope to be proactive and learn new ways of inspiring students.

Am I worried about my time management due to my teaching at our new Stratford Campus? YES! Am I worried about finding my student hat on after years of teaching, research, and completing my PhD and SFHEA? YES! Am I excited to challenge myself and learning something I didn’t expect? YES!

I started my career in fashion as a blogger using WordPress so this is a true throwback but sometimes to move forward and excell, you need to go back and build upon those ever-important foundations!

Onwards!
