Profile:

I began my professional journey in events management, before transitioning into project management. This experience laid a solid foundation for my move into the PA field a decade ago. Over the past ten years, I have worked at Coventry University, working within the Commercial side of the Group. In my role, I support two senior leaders and am part of a team of PAs who provide support and coverage for each other.

In 2024, I was honoured to receive the PA of the Year award for my efforts in creating opportunities for PAs and administrators to access relevant, academically accredited training. This recognition underscores my commitment to professional development and excellence.

I look forward to working with other PAs to help them achieve their goals.
