Olivia joined the University of Worcester as a course leader and associate lecturer via a partnership college in 2015. Thoroughly enjoying this aspect of her college role, she eagerly embraced the opportunity to join the Department for Children and Families as a lecturer at the university in 2021. Olivia began working as a trainee lecturer in 2007 and qualified as a teacher in 2008. Prior to this, she gained valuable experience across a range of settings, supporting infancy and early childhood, and family work.

Olivia is passionate about lifelong learning both in and beyond the classroom, and she is dedicated to supporting the overall development of others. She aims to inspire students to explore new ideas, fostering a learning environment that promotes curiosity and critical thinking. Olivia has enjoyed teaching on several programmes, with specific interests in health and wellbeing, family-centred practice, and effective multiagency collaboration. Olivia is excited to share her expertise and enthusiasm with prospective students, helping them to achieve their academic and personal goals in the Department for Children and Families.

In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Olivia is currently engaged in research related to the experiences of lecturers in college-based higher education. This work reflects her commitment to understanding and supporting others, and to develop her own knowledge and skills in education and research.
