CURRENT
I work as the Enterprise Education Development Co-ordinator in the Employability service at Bangor University.
This primarily involves working with academic staff to embed enterprise into the curriculum. Within this, I aim to ensure inclusion and accessibility is fulfilled to reflect the diverse nature of students. I am a Fellow of Enterprise Educators UK.
I contribute to research on Enterprise Education both within Bangor University and further afield in the Impact Research Group.
I co-host the bilingual Bangor University Employability Podcast “Be’ Nesa’” which launched in July 2023. Available on most major platforms. Podcast link
I'm always looking to to expand my network, knowledge, experiences and to learn. Additionally, I am keen to collaborate and work with others to showcase best practice, new opportunities and success stories.
