I am a Lecturer in English Language at Aston University. I work in the Department of English, Languages and Applied Linguistics (ELAL) in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities.
I am a researcher and educator in English language and linguistics, working in the areas of corpus linguistics, applied linguistics and discourse analysis. I am a corpus linguist, specialising in contemporary spoken discourse, and I advocate for the application of corpus approaches to address societal challenges.
I am a member of the Aston Centre for Applied Linguistics (ACAL), within which I am Co-Director of the Aston Corpus Linguistics Research Group and host of the Aston Originals CorpusCast podcast, and I am a member of the Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics (AIFL).
Before joining Aston, I held research positions at Cambridge University Press & Assessment and the University of Leeds. I completed my BA (Hons), MA and PhD degrees at Lancaster University where, as a member of the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science, I was lead researcher on the design and construction of the Spoken British National Corpus 2014.
