I write, vlog and talk about food, travel, technology and legal education. This site is a collection of my work.

From a young age I was fascinated by watching others cook in person and on TV. I’ve been cooking since the age of 10 and of late, feel I’ve got the hang of it. A photo of almost everything I cook is posted on my twitter account.

I write about legal education having been a Barrister and taught on various professional legal courses. I remain an advocacy tutor at the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple.

I was called to the Bar in 2002 and was tenant at 2 Hare Court where I prosecuted and defended serious crime, much of it IT related. I also appeared before the Tax Tribunal instructed by HMRC in missing trader frauds.

In 2011 I left the Bar (via a short spell at the NMC) to join the BPTC teaching team at BPP. After 5 happy years of teaching and leading several modules, including being the founding editor of the BPP Criminal Litigation manual, I moved to Education Services (Learning and Teaching).

In 2017 I became Deputy Dean of the wider Education Services function which spans L&T, Careers, Library, Widening Participation and Pro Bono. I have a particular interest in learning technology and was involved in strategic initiatives across the BPP group in this area. I remained a Principal Lecturer and taught Advocacy and Criminal Litigation on the BPTC on the part-time weekend course. I also chaired the University Appeals Board.

I was an External Examiner and continue to be a Standard Setter for the Bar Standards Board. I was appointed to the Department for Education T-Panel (Law) in 2018. I am regularly asked to speak at conferences on legal education and technology.

Legal Education

I write and vlog about digital literacy and the use of technology to improve the way we work and interact; in particular its use in the law.

I am Global Client Evangelist at Inspera. We are a digital assessment ecosystem that enables you to enhance the entire assessment cycle; authoring, delivery, grading and feedback.

From 2019-2020 I was Director of Group Education Technology at BPP Professional Education.
