During my career I started as a mathematics teacher and eventually became Professor of Mathematics Education, now retired. Always keeping one foot in the life of teachers and children in schools, I am a founder member of the Quaker Values in Education Group and that drew me in to my current supervision work which encompasses various ways in which our testimonies can be acted out in educational spaces.
In retirement from my academic career I am able to give more time to Quaker service of various kinds.
