I am responsible for line management of the OVC PA team, general office management including development of the space in line with the evolving needs of the business, budget management for operational and strategic budgets and providing executive support to the Vice-Chancellor on a range of projects. Before working at the University of Essex, I held various administrative and management posts within the NHS, spanning a period of 15 years.
