She co-directs the Q-Step Centre at The University of Manchester and leads the programme of paid internships which she established in 2013. In 2020 she was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship by Advance HE, the UK professional body that oversees teaching and learning in Higher Education, for her work on making an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession in Higher education. She is also a Senior Fellow of Advance HE.

She draws on pedagogic research and was inspired by the work of Pablo Freire, author of Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Her work in the UK is now being developed in Latin America through the EmpoderaData projects, working with universities in Colombia and Brazil to develop immersion activities for undergraduates to acquire research and analytical and professional skills in social research careers, whilst studying.
