sharing my experiences I love

Lecturer profile

"I’ve been a professional athlete and I nowwant to share my passion and experience with future generations to develop healthy behaviours and to move more. Outdoor education has recently been made a compulsory part of the curriculum, so we decided to build our first ever outdoor classroom on campus. We now have schools come here to be taught, which provides so many opportunities for my students to learn. It also means they’ll stand out from the crowd when they graduate and have skills that employers are looking for."

Gemma Sharples Programme Manager and Lecturer, PE and School Sport
