I'm Director of Strategy, Insight and Member Engagement.
I was previously Universities UK's Chief of Staff and adviser to our Chief Executive. Before becoming Chief of Staff, I held a variety of roles in UUKi and UUKi, most recently as Acting Assistant Director for Policy and Global Engagement, working to help our members achieve their international ambitions.
I have worked in the higher education sector for all my career, mostly in policy and influencing roles. My love for all things policy and higher education started during my time as an elected officer at Bristol SU. I studied Chemistry at University and have a PhD in the subject.
I enjoy the problem-solving and engagement parts of my role. I’m happiest when working with a team of colleagues to solve a problem on behalf of the sector. I also enjoy being a member of UUK’s LGBTQ+ network.
