Career
My background is in the Higher Education sector, particularly in the Creative Arts and Osteopathy specialisms. I spent over fifteen years working my way up from Administrator, to Academic Registrar. I learnt a huge amount during in this time and witnessed an enormous amount of sector change. Externally, this ranged from funding changes to political decisions. Internally, this ranged from the introduction of new frameworks and changes in partner awarding bodies. These changes required flexibility, understanding, sensitivity and confidentiality.
During my time in Higher Education, I undertook training provided by The Institute of Leadership and Management. This enhanced my skills to create stronger and more productive teams. Stakeholders would comment what a wonderful job my team and I did. It was a huge accolade against the backdrop of change mentioned above.
Outside of Higher Education, I have worked with small businesses supporting them in a variety of areas. For example; branding and logo design, populating website content and supporting marketing campaigns.
Education
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Sociology, from The University of Portsmouth. This degree allowed me to hone my skills in research, analysis and report writing.
