RESUME SUMMARY

Resume
Professional ​
info​​

I've been responsible for a wide variety of qualification types - spanning KS2 to adult learners across academic and vocational. I've led multi-discipline teams to achieve results for UK curriculum markets globally and I am a passionate advocate for supporting learners to acquire the subject specific and broader transferable skills to enable them to progress successfully in a changing world market.

​

I'm flexible and happy to balance a wide scope of projects ranging from small short term/small-scale projects, such as report writing, to longer-term and larger-scale opportunities.

​

I'm delighted that all my work has come from word of mouth and personal recommendations from my network and that I have been asked to provide additional services to all my clients for future projects.
