first doctorate reading week featured 2 essays being written and an all inclusive to Majorca with my old teacher colleagues, I’d call that a success

my partner is finally coming home from deployment tonight after 10 long weeks! Going to be strange having someone else in the house again and him seeing me doing all my studying, he left before I even started the doctorate 🤯

our reflections from the end of the first half term on the course 🌟

Christmas drinks with the year 1 cohort, first time we’ve all made it out together! 🎄🎅🏼❄️

A huge ethical and environmental issue that is getting easier and easier to avoid contributing to with the amount of vegan products available now! Highly recommend giving veganuary a go 🌱🌎 really pleased to see University of Exeter endorsing it on campus too!

birthday on the DEdPsych! Disney princess card and a jellycat, wouldn’t believe I was 27 🤣 #twittereps

a year today since I graduated from Oxford after being told it was ‘a bit out of reach for people like you’, a year and 1 day since I got a last minute interview invite that led to a place on the doctorate… never let anyone make you think your goals are unachievable!

I am still recruiting for my doctoral research. If you are an ECT, please consider sparing 20 minutes to share your lived experiences. If you know an ECT, please share my research poster with them. Thank you. #ECT #EarlyCareerTeacher #edutwitter #twittereps

full circle moment today meeting prospective TEPs for lunch at the Exeter interviews! Can’t believe it’s been a whole year since that was me. Everyone was so lovely, calm and positive, best of luck 🌸

I have a mortgage but today I tried to upgrade my phone and I couldn’t get a new contract because of the TEP bursary 🙃 bring on a new phone in 2026 🤦🏼‍♀️
