I enjoy the flexibility that Arden gives me to be able teach from a student centre but also from the comfort of my own home. I believe Arden stands out because of how supportive the team and environment is; there is never a moment where a colleague has not given me support. There is a sense of teamwork which I love. I enjoy teaching biological and sport psychology. The thing I find most rewarding working as an academic is the ability to support students to achieve their dreams. In my spare time I enjoy exercising and swimming at the beach.

Working at Arden is enjoyable as it’s a fast-paced environment where individual contributions make a huge impact. Even from the day I joined I was involved from the get-go and contributing.

The amount of contact time students can have in a variety of forms is really what makes Arden different. Even though we operate as an online university also, we have many provisions for contact setup, and this really enables the students to study, and ask any questions they might have, at any time.
