What I do

I joined Budmouth College as Director of Business and Enterprise in 2008.  In 2010 I was awarded a Sinnott Fellowship and I currently lead the development of a Centre of Excellence for Industry Liaison at Budmouth College.

My expertise

I develop visionary student cultures fuelled by the fusion of education and business and industry.   This increases curriculum relevance in the process as part of the student experience that draws on an entrepreneurial approach to education.
