I was formerly an academic at Leeds Beckett University, teaching architecture, and prior to that I was an architect in private practice. At Leeds Beckett University I co-directed the student centred architecture and research practice Project Office, which was instrumental in the delivery the New Wortley Community Centre building in 2016. I have been involved with New Wortley building and landscape projects since 2009, and now that I’m semi-retired, I will be advising on the Association’s future plans.
