Project Co-Lead and Creative Visionary of W4W

I joined the Business Partnerships team at Warwick in 2023, where I weave connections between the Faculty of Arts, the Warwick Manufacturing Group, and external partners, nurturing opportunities for research and education. My journey through the Higher Education sector has been rich with experiences, allowing me to cultivate strategic partnerships and help academics blossom through external engagement.

Away from work, I cherish my role as a parent governor at my 10-year-old daughter’s school, contributing to the nurturing of young minds. Additionally, as a board member of the Leicester Print Workshop, I meld my strategic insight with my passion for arts and culture, supporting a vibrant creative community.

Project Co-Lead and Creative Visionary of W4W

My journey at Warwick began as a Philosophy undergraduate over 27 years ago, and I'm a proud alumna of this vibrant institution. Over the years, I've had the privilege of gaining a diverse range of experiences, which have equipped me to work collaboratively with a multifaceted perspective.

I find great joy in connecting with people and leveraging my experience to facilitate meaningful collaborations and build fruitful networks. I thrive on ‘joining the dots’ and exploring the potential of each new journey.

If I had to choose a favourite moment at Warwick, it would be right now! Although my husband might argue that it was when I met him here at Warwick!
