About

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own." - Tuesday's with Mori, Mitch Albom.

The official line: I'm a Senior Learning Technology Officer at King's College London, where I actively support the integration of learning technologies in the Centre for International Education and Languages. I joined King's after over five years working in Learning Design and Education Technology at The Open University, where I specialised in AI, Authentic Assessment, and Staff Training. I co-authored the ALT award-winning Responsible by Design framework for ethical AI use in Higher Education, and I hold an MSc specialising in online and distance education technology.

The philosophical line: I believe that our current technology culture doesn't work. It's too cumbersome, too complex, and there's too much of it. It's leading to confusion, overwhelm, disconnection, loneliness, and burnout (both within educational institutions and within society more broadly). I am offering a space to pause, to question, and to think about our use of technology, so that we might live happier, healthier, and more productive livs with it.

My Story:

I spent years working from home, scrolling, and staring at screens. My days blurred into one long, grey sameness. After an inevitable existential crisis and a period of real depression, it took one random Monday evening dance class to show me what I'd been missing. I needed movement, community, and the messy, beautiful, irreplaceable texture of being human.

I write here about what it means to live well in a world that is increasingly dominated by technology. About the difference between a life that is technology-enhanced and one that is technology-saturated. About AI, the future of work, and what any of it might mean for us humans caught in the middle of it all.

I work in technology, think about it, and find it genuinely fascinating. But I believe most of us are using far too much of it, far too passively, and losing something important in the process.

If any of that resonates, you're in the right place.

Keep fighting the good fight.
