I joined the university in October 2025 after working previously in Quality Support, Education Programme Support and Graduate Research support within the HE sector. My background is in university policy and processes, programme approvals and re-validations and the graduate research student lifecycle.
In my spare time, I love to be outdoors with my family, going off on adventures in the countryside and re-watching Stranger Things.
