I worked for a small independent language agency in Prague and fell into online content because of a need to reach a wider audience &#8211; this was in 2006, in the Czech Republic, on Windows 95. The tools I had then don\u2019t compare to what we all have available now.<\/p>\n<p>I moved back to the UK in 2010 to complete my Diploma in Teaching in Lifelong Learning, hoping to move into adult education. Having qualified, I talked my way into a learning support role at the University of Brighton where I was given my first Blackboard course and I have not looked back since. In 2013, I was doing freelance work combining learning technology and English language when a learning technologist job came up at Imperial.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I didn\u2019t think I stood a chance. I was a less than exceptional university student struggling with my sexuality and mental health \u2013 I used to think: \u2018how could I possibly work at one of the best institutions in the world?\u2019 But someone saw potential in me, and here I am. I still wake up sometimes wondering how I got here, but I am extremely proud of the work I have done so far, and grateful to the amazing people I have worked with. I am excited about future challenges and I wish I could tell my younger self that it gets better. I wouldn\u2019t have believed me, but regardless of your history, you can achieve great things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I work in both the Faculty of Medicine and the National Heart and Lung Institute as a learning technologist and learning designer, focusing on the digital aspects of postgraduate courses and the implementation of digital tools through the curriculum review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1226,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[294815],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research-staff"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
