I’ve been a careers professional since 2008, joining the finance school at the University of Reading just as the financial crash hit and a recession started. Quite a baptism of fire. My role broadened over the next few years to initially the Business School, and then to the wider University. I joined Cambridge as Head of Careers in the Summer of 2024, and am now happily settled in Waterbeach.

Prior to this career I was a HR professional, covering a range of roles from HR Policy, Project, and Process to Graduate Recruitment and Development.

I had an academically undistinguished time at the University of Manchester in the early ‘90s, but I really enjoyed the Madchester scene! I’m originally from a small market town in Yorkshire, which has been instrumental to my outlook on life, and has led to a passion for social mobility.
