I am very pleased to have been awarded the HEA Senior Fellowship in recognition of my dedication, commitment and passion to education in general and in particular to Modern Foreign Language education, to which I contributed for more than twenty years in different positions and with different projects. I am also delighted to be part of the King’s Academy HEA panel, contributing in this way to the assessment of HEA applications. I hope my contribution might inspire other colleagues to apply for the HEA Fellowship, which is a very rewarding, gratifying and valuable reflective process on one own’s career in HE. I truly hope more members of my home department, the MLC, will apply for the Fellowship."
