Jenni has transformed accounting education by empowering students to generate their own feedback. Instead of relying on teacher comments, students reflect on their work, compare it to resources, and write self-feedback—building judgment, confidence, and independence. In 2023/24, 352 (73%) of her first-year accounting students engaged, and performed significantly better than peers in their assessment and developed intellectual independence. Her approach earned her a University of Manchester Teaching Excellence Award and the British Accounting and Finance Association’s Distinctive Teaching Award for measurable impact. in 2023. Through a teaching fellowship and a £41k project she built a strong evidence base and, trained over 950 educators, and reached 10,000+ students internationally. Featured in Times Higher Education (17,000+ views readers) and on ITV (500,000+ viewers), she explained how self-feedback helps leaders in the world of GenAI.

At its core is Jenni's belief that students thrive when empowered to think for themselves.
