I have been working in senior roles in Higher Education for 20 years.

Prior to that, I worked in global marketing functions in the hi-tech sector. My experience includes public and private organisations, with a focus on global partnership development within a wider income-generating model. I also utilise an integrated approach for marketing, student recruitment and admissions.

At the core of my professional DNA is the power to create an ethos of collaboration. I thrive on developing partnerships and long-term collaborations between internal and external stakeholders. I believe in the model of fostering relationships between academic and professional services colleagues in institutions as a partnership of equals, working in unison to achieve institutional goals.

My multi-disciplinary skillset of leading professional services across the key stages of the student journey gives me a comprehensive view on how different functions work together to achieve commercial and reputational success for the organisation. I have worked in both large, multi-disciplinary organisations, as well as smaller and more specialist institutions, all with an underlying theme of amplified global impact.
