National Teaching Fellow 2001 Margaret is now an Independent Higher Education Consultant, specialising in Educational and Professional Development. She has a variety of consultative roles at present, including acting as the External Evaluator for one of the University of Portsmouth's CETLs: The ExPERT Centre. When awarded her NTF in 2001, she was the Assistant Director (Teaching, Guidance and Learning Development) for The Open University in London.

As a pilot she created a fully interactive website, The Effective Use of English, using her extensive research and practice in developing Academic English for non-traditional students. She has also, together with two other NTF colleagues from the 2001 cohort, undertaken research and published on the experience of being a National Teaching Fellow.
