Angela has over twenty years’ experience teaching in Further and Higher Education. She is a Senior lecturer in the department of Sport and Physical Activity at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire specialising in personal and professional development and complementary therapies. She also specialises in life coaching.

Since the Dearing Report in 1997, Angela has been responsible for developing personal and professional development planning, working closely with other higher education institutes and the Centre for Recording Achievement (www.recordingachievement.org). Angela has presented her work at conferences and held workshops for staff and students around the country.

Angela has worked extensively with students to support them in developing their academic skills to help them pass their degrees and also to encourage the students to work towards their goals which will allow them to develop themselves personally and professionally towards their chosen careers and dreams.
It is hoped that this book brings personal development planning (PDP) all together so that both staff and students can use the tasks to download towards their PDP portfolio and be able to showcase their work to a prospective employer.

Angela has a daughter Emma Louise and a granddaughter Ebony Mai who inspire her to keep going. As well as lecturing at the university Angela travels all over the world as a guest lecturer on board cruise liners.
