Biography

Having graduated from Essex with a BA Sociology, Media and Culture degree, I returned as a staff member on a two-year, fixed term, Graduate Trainee Administrative Officer role in September 2004. I have remained in various roles within the Academic Section ever since. I previously worked as a School Administrator for various schools (now faculties) before commencing the role of Academic Officer in the Graduate School in 2008, and then Graduate School Manager in 2010. I also undertook a secondment to the role of Head of Registry during 2013 - 2015, before returning to my current role of Senior Postgraduate Research Education Manager. I am enthusiastic and committed to supporting and enhancing Postgraduate Research Student Education and the PGR experience at Essex.
